Good luck finding the job, you are on the right track and all above is true. One thing I must stress, is make sure you are getting paid, the customers are paying for you to be there, you should be getting part of that. I was getting $75/day for Insurance/Requested SIC work in a C421 or Be20, easy work, and on the empty legs they would let you fly it, but still from the right seat. I did this in conjunction with my full-time CFI job at the time.
