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.
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.
