These are the standard pay in France for dropping
Piston, usually not paid, but some pay 8 euros per load
Porter, 10 to 12 euros per load at average size to big DZ
Twin otter, 22 euros per load
Many DZ pay well in europe but you need some skydive pilot experience to interest them which usually has to be achieved for free on pistons.
I found a job in the netherlands on a caravan after 70 hours of piston dropping I did for free (I was just a PPL anyway). I had no contacts there, just sent CVs. There is a shortage of experinced skydive pilots almost everywhere in europe, which is why I was was able to negociate a very descent pay, so it' s worth thinking about it and ringing piston operators. The job is a lot of fun, I am really glad I have done it but no flying on winter
