If things keep going as they have been the pilots down there will clear 70k a year. Pay has also been increased in the Dakota's, pilots can expect to make in the 65k a year range. The Texas planes now have EFB's for the USA and Jepps for Mexico. It will soon all be on the EFB.
They do not hire SIC's. What are you doing to build flight time? There are a few instructing jobs and a sky diver gig out of Luverne.

If that's really the way it is now, though, and if its sustainable, its probably a great job making that kind of cash along with weekends off. The pilots I've met said you won't find a better 135 to work for, as long as they stay busy.
