Hiring to resume starting with 300 pilots

DH pay @ 50% from April 1,2005-April 1, 2006.
DH pay @ 50% from April 1,2006-April 1, 2007.
DH pay resumed @ 100% April 1, 2007.
Lot of 77 FOs went to 756 Captain because pre-FAR 117 lCal did a lot of DH to/IRO back trips (2 or 3 pilots required over, 3 or 4 pilots required back). Pre-117 the max hours were 120/month with no rest required on the back end, and pilots could easily make 150+/month doing DH/IRO back trips.
Any advice on the best path to UA? I’m currently a regional FO and ground instructor. I will be upgrading soon, and could also potentially become a sim instructor/SCA. I also have lots of friends leaving for ULCCs. Flying and teaching at UA is my ultimate goal, so I’m wondering what path makes me most attractive.
They want to see that you care about something other than yourself. Show them some volunteer time, be it Young Eagles, or at an animal rescue center. When someone comes in and they tell me once a month they go down and clean cat ****, that tells me they're not just a self-centered pilot but have a bit of humility.

They know you can fly, and ANYONE applying needs to upgrade ASAP since they are very close to 2 year 73 Captains again, and they want to know you've already had those "Oh shi*, I made a bad decision but survived and learned from it." moments already with a RJ, not on an icy night going into La Garbage with a 73.

I was a ground instructor, LCA, and SCA. I was called long after many of my friends who just kept grinding it out on the line. With all the hiring going on, having lots of extra leadership on your resume is not as important as it used to be.
