I can think of at least 8 people who're qualified on the 902 and 135, and I certainly don't know everyone in the industry.

Asking around the business as my short-term contract came to an end recently, I learned that one company recently advertising for floaters offers 41K basic plus 5K floater-allowance and 4K for use of your car. Another mainly-Air Amb operator was similar but has its full floater-quota, while the one I've ended up working for pays a lot less. I could've opted for the freelance way of life, which is a very healthy sector at the moment, but I lack the necessary entrepreneurial spirit. However, the quality of life I enjoy more than amply compensates for the lower salary, hence the decision.
