1000TT is usually the standard for turbine operators. 500TT is generally the requirement for a 182 or 206 but it depends on the drop zone. As rick mentioned above he got hired with 270TT so it never hurts to drop off your resume.
As for pay, I'm still trying to figure out what the average is right now. I fly a 182 and I'm paid $5 per tandem. It sucks when I only take 1 tandem up, but that doesn't happen too often. From what I've seen so far $10-$15 per load in a 182 seems to be the going rate.

a question for jump pilots...do you guys log the time as 'solo' in your logbook? if you have a solo column in your logbook that is. And if you have to leave one airport to go to another airport to conduct your jump operations, would you count that as cross country (less the 50nm, but still works for 135 and ATP requirements)? i know it a small amount of time, but over the summer it would add up to a decent amount to cross country time.
