Depends. It's a seasonal job and it varies with each vendor. The more you fly the more money you make. Not to mention it's a great way to build your time. About $450 per week is a rough estimate.

The only places that are seasonal are pictometry vendors there are tons of other companies out there.
Last year my base salary was 37K. Ended up around 40k with overtime and bonus and another 10K in per diem.
This year 41K base salary, will be around 50K or more, another 10K for vacation buyout from the last two years of accrued PTO when I leave for the airlines and still another 13-15K in per diem.
Per diem is not taxed and the other numbers were gross numbers.

Curious, wouldn't the rsv or guard be a better option to build time at a much better pay?

I flew a piston single for ag and got paid $30 hr block time, but I only worked June-Sept. Averaged probably 20 hours a week.

Rampart Aviation was paying around 75-80K for low-level Geophysical survey in a Twin Otter. 6 weeks on 6 weeks off, lots of work in Africa.
