Default Jump Pilot Questions

Hey everyone was looking for some insight into the life of a jump pilot. Sent out a bunch of resumes last week and got a response today with a job offer starting late feb early march. Was wondering how many hours one can expect to build. I have looked at several other threads on here but none seem to talk about how many hours you build a month. Any info would be nice thanks!

Depends on where you go. I did mine in phx area wight he ability to jump year round and good wether everyday I was doing about 100 hrs a month but depends on the opp. If your flying a caravan or otter with bigger capacity then your time might be less. If your flying up north you'll be limited by the weather. I know some place stop operation all together when it gets cold.

You don't need to be prior qualified in the aircraft as a condition for employment. Is that what you mean?
