For the 500 hour pilot, paying 500 bucks for training to be PIC for your first Part 135 job isn't bad when you realize they're gonna spend more than that on your gas during training. And that includes the transition training into the 402. Bob Trout is the new chief pilot, and he's keeping things pretty tight over there.

Keep in mind:
They hire 500 hour pilots, train them in a 135 environment in 206's and 207's

Transition those pilots into a multi engine aircraft, PIC, within 6 months, when I was there.

You can make tips! That was half my pay.

After being there a year, I had 400 hours of 206/207 time, and 400 hours of C-402 time.

It was the most enjoyable flying, in a team environment, that I've done so far. So you don't make bank.... you're in Vegas, flying over the Grand Canyon every day, and you're a 500 hour pilot!
