My instructor was just today talking about ways to get your hours up for minimal cost. If you can get your parachute drop licence (known in the industry as 'meat bombing') then you can fly for a company just lofting jumpers to 13,000 and back again. You can't get paid, but the operator CAN let you fly their planes for nothing, same applies for glider tow. All else fails, start cleaning airplanes.
