Plenty of work, all over the country if mountains aren't your thing. As mentioned L.Line time is a benefit but not necessary. Required skills fires, seismic, mining, drill moves, logging, logging support,game capture & just flying people and stuff around plus a few other such as torpedo recovery, bomb detection, prunning, bird towing... your get the idea.
Contract rates vary but you should be able to rope in a guarantee of 300 - 400 hrs. for 5-6 months work at whatever rate you can get.
lights 125.00/hr +
intermediates 150.00/hr. +
mediums 175.00/hrs +
times are good right now but when they are slow it generally sucks.
