I am looking for 135 single pilot ops that have decent starting pay for someone with less than 2500 hours. Info on companies that pay at least 30K with mins around 1200-2000 hrs would be appreciated.

Are there any 135 companies that operate single pilot turbine aircraft and require less than 2000 hours (besides Ameriflight)?

I would suggest you look on some of the wanted ads like jsfirm.com or flightleveljobs.com. Looking on here for jobs usually ends with people riding on each other for job hunting.

I'm aware of pilot job websites, I have been studying the industry for several years. I'm not looking for employment through forums, just looking for ideas and insight. My post was vague and it's understandable how yourself and others on this website make assumptions or draw conclusions based of a couple of poorly written sentences. I currently have a p/t CFI job along with a p/t part 91 single pilot job.

Most 135 ops pay around 24-28K to start for single pilot twin-recip/single engine turbine ops. Quals for single pilot twin-turbine ops generally require at least 2500 hours with a specific amount of multi and/or turbine time required. I currently have less than 2500 hours.

Most 91/135 ops pay under 30K to start for operating equipment with requirements under 2500 hours. An exception might be ISR companies. I'm seeking details about companies that might pay at least 30K to start and require less than 2000 hours.

Are you willing to move to Alaska? There are a bunch of air taxi operators up here that you'd probably have a chance getting on with. You'd probably have to start with single engine piston, but if you're looking for 135 ops with turbine, a lot of the operators use caravans.

There's a caravan operator out of KPGE (Westwind?) that does canyon tours and other charter flights. Don't know their pay, but heard their reliable.

You could easily make 40K plus in AK in your first year.

Priority Air Charter fly C208 and PC12's out of Ohio. I'm not sure if they are hiring but the base pay is over 30K i believe. I flew for them for about 3 years and really enjoyed it.

Although (judging from your OP) I take it you already know this, but Ameriflight is hiring pretty steady nowadays. Start in OAK or PDX in the Piper Chieftain at $28,000 per year. Nowadays, you can upgrade to the Beech 99 pretty fast. There have been guys who literally spent 1-2 months in the PA31 and then upgraded. If you're willing to move, upgrades happen pretty quick.

Is there any specific hour requirement other than 135 mins for the 99?

Company guidlines are 1800 TT and 350 multi. Stress the word "guidelines." The actual times may vary depending on how competitive things are, and if they have an outstation that they're having a hard time filling internally.
