I posted in your other thread before reading this one.
If float employment is what you're after with low time it is hard to get right in a machine.
The dock angle is the most common route. BUT make sure you are getting checked out and getting a chance to fly non-rev legs or getting some dual - not just loading planes. After a season you should have aquired enough hours to get into the 180 next year as a full time gig.
Or get on with an operator that operates off of both wheels and floats (and probably skis in the winter) and get your foot in that way.
Good luck.
BTW - Juan Air is a good school, don't know anything about Ocean Air. But Fort Langley Air is a really good float school for what it's worth.
