I live in Souther California and Have My Commercial Single and Multi, Instrument land as well as a BS from Embry-Riddle AZ. I was wondering if anyone knew were I could go for a posible lead on the traffic watch, low time builders?? any info would be a great help. Since I spent all my money at Embry Riddle and have very little time.

Look at skydive drop zones. The season just started into full force. I always see jobs out there, that is how i built most of me time. Some places will even put you up on the dz for free.

This may sound stupid, but is traffic watch exactly as it says... You watch the car traffic in the area? Please, excuse my ignorance.

Not to ruffle any feathers, but didn't Flying Vikings had some big tiff a few months back about some MX issues? I've heard some scary stuff from a few of their instructors.
