Thanks Barney,
I think the way things are now and for the next 2 years or so, instructing is probably the best option really. Plus like Scroggs said earlier, someone with a year or two doing something like instructing (heading towards around 1000 hours) is going to be a much better pilot than anyone straight out of 200 hour ab-initio.
Teaching is a great learning experience. Years ago when I was funding the last couple of years of my eng. degree by teaching electronics, I went from knowing just enough to get my exams to being able to write the exam papers (and probably a text book too!) because I had to get up there and explain it and really actually know my stuff.
Of course I'd be well up for air-taxi or freight too. Who wouldn't?
