You want part 135 opportunities? Seek them out in Alaska. I just got hired by a VFR part 135 operator, flying 207s. I thought that I would be stuck with instructing all the way up to 1500 hours. Heck, my company is known for hiring guys with wet commercial hours without prior Alaska time and putting them in a multi-turbine airplane until they reach the needed time for VFR PIC. This place is a safe haven for part 135s.
