low hour pilot looking for any kind of job
I currently live in san diego and looking to get any kind of job to build hrs. I currently have my commercial multi and single with instrument. In total I have 330 hrs with 108 in multi. Can anyone out there help me out in finding something or point out to where i should I apply to. I am currently looking at survey pilot gigs since i hear its a quick way to build hours. I am willing to relocate.
Thanks for the help guys and girls.

I know several people that flew for SDAZ. They were quite happy with the experience. Most of the skydiving pilot jobs are treated as contract work. It is a very good way to get turbine twin time in a short period.
But by all means, read that thread. Call and talk to former pilots. I can't think of any that would not recommend working for SDAZ for a while.
I don't work there, I do fly jumpers. If I lived in the Eloy area, I'd submit an application for PT work there in a second (I have a FT job).

These would be questions for them. I have not had any connection to SDAZ since the late 90's and then only as a jumper.
My current gig is "I fly when I want and when they need me." I have flown 130 hours in about 6 months. Sometimes I fly all weekend, other times I fly three or four loads in a row so the pilot can have a bio-break. My current gig did not require a contract.
Works for me... When not flying jumpers, I jump or fly my Pitts. I am at the DZ/Airport anyway.
