Are you talking about pilot hiring or working on billboards. Van Wagner does a lot more than banners. They own a pretty good portion of the ads on Times Square. There is no DC pilot base. All pilot new hires go to Hollywood, FL for training then wherever they need you. Summer is the busy season with most flying in NY/NJ, Miami/FLL area, SoCal, Nascar, and a few other smaller markets. They require a tailwheel and about 15hrs TW as a minimum but if you have previous banner time that might help you out. I worked for the guy in Myrtle in 07 (before he started charging 3500!) and I loved it. I would never pay that much for that job, unless he doubled pilot wages.
