Would you mind showing me a charter company (excluding air ambo) that operates Kings Airs with two pilot ops specs?
I know it's possible, but who does it?
King Airs are single pilot ships. The costs are significantly higher for a charter company to operate a single pilot plane under two pilot ops specs.
Most charter companies that operate King Airs with two pilots have single pilot ops specs.

The F/O I flew with the last two days flew contract for a King Air operator out of SNA who used SICs when the customer required it. He was flying a Citation Sovereign most of the time but the operator wanted him to fly SIC on the King Airs as well.
Years ago I flew SIC on a couple of King Airs myself. It, too was contract work when the company required two pilots for insurance reasons.

Many companies that have single pilot ops specs still use co-pilots. In the FAA's eyes, the co-pilot is considered a passenger on the 135 flights. If the plane requires a type rating, SIC time could be logged on 91 flights.

Even if the time isn't loggable, the job might still be worthwhile if the pilot is compensated within reason.
