If money is not an issue and you prefer flexibility - what about clubs?
I've recently begun my first job (FI, SEP) at my local club with the goal of keeping things going and getting some experience. Got my CPL some years back, but the industry seems a bit difficult for those of us who want to avoid certain lowcost carriers for the time being. I don't trust the airlines much at this point and have chosen to continue studying in order to create some options for myself. That being said, I think it's great to fly hands-on VFR down low and even get paid a little for it. I'm not sure I could expect the same level of pleasure as a 737 FO. Most of the crews I've spoken to over the last few years didn't seem very happy, but I still hope to get a good job in the long run.
