The best company I've work so far is an aerial photography company San Jose, CA based called Aperture Aviation.
They fly C206, min tt used to be 500, I don't know how much is now, they may prefer an high performance check out but is not a deal breaker. They can provide all the training necessary.
The pay, the benefits, the schedule and planes are just the best out there for an aerial photography job.
Google aperture aviation in San Jose and you'll find it.
Good luck.

C-206 time
Lots of Skydiving operators fly 206's. Easy plane to fly, its just a big 182. I got hired at a drop zone while I was still towing banners and I had 0 hours in a 206 (I did have about 800 hours in High Performance, which is probably what really matters anyways). Also, to those saying go to the pilot job sites for employment...don't bother, they get 100's of resumes. Go to a few airports, and ask around, bring resumes, bring business cards, dress like you want the job, and can act professional (if its a skydiving gig, a suit is overkill.). Most jobs in the low-time aviation world are never listed. Good luck, the jobs ARE out there.

Haha, are their jobs out there that do? That seems pretty pointless to me. "Oh you have only flown the 172 as the closest similar aircraft? Yeah sorry thats not good enough experience for us to employ you in a 206" lol. Hell even a caravan with a wet ink commercial wouldnt be all that of a stretch. Haha

As for pay, I cannot say what Aperture is. I do know that their pay is higher than AAK because cost of living is higher in California.

I am at AAK, but Aperture works exactly the same. There is no camera/equipment operator. The second pilot is there strictly for safety purposes. He/she in the right seat would take care of the radios and navigation, while the pilot in the left seat flies. Obviously, the time spent in the right seat is not legally loggable.

Like I said, the pilot in the right seat cannot legally log the time they are in the right seat. The pilots take turns flying. So, for example, pilot A will fly on Thursday, pilot B on Friday, pilot A on Saturday, etc. Most of the pilots are fair about splitting the flight time while on rotation so that each pilot will end the trip with roughly the same amount of flight time spent in the left seat.
