Navy, VTcharter makes a good point. Most CFI's can clear more in their first few years than a first officer makes in a regional the first few years. If you are thinking Alaska you will probably have to instruct up there first. Most Alaska outfitters/operators require you to have 200 hours "ALASKA TIME" before they will give you the keys to any equipment other than a 172 for teaching. Alaska's weather is tough, and places to park the plane can be tricky too! Unless you have some Otter or Beaver time on floats a float operator won't probably pick you up. Their insurance won't allow it. I am thinking part-time flight instructor or relocating planes for owners. If you live near a tourist area there sometimes are Banner Tow pilot positions. It is a tough time at less than 500 total/50 multi. Getting on in Alaska without a connection is really tough. It took me two years to crack the door open.
