Is being a contract-pilot bad for your CV?

Thinking about starting to fly as a contract pilot...the benefits are good pay, downside no job security.Mostly 6 months contracts to help the companies involved upgrade own people.What worries me most, is how e.g. having 4 different operators in 2 years will show up on your cv if you want to go back to "regular" flying.Is that seen as me being a "unreliable" person, or fully understood as that being the nature of the job, that is short term contracts?or are "contract pilots" seen as a different breed all together and not seen as a serious candidate for any self called "decent" airline.could anyone share some light on that, especially those folks working in the hiring/selection departments. thx. COT
