Sounds like you have a really great attitude. An endo on the 208 is usually around the 4k mark. I was lucky enough to get on one for my first job with 250hrs when i was let loose. If you have a good attitude and head, she ain't a hard plane to fly, and is nothing like a 182. I got back into a 206 after 400hrs on the van, and that thing was a dog compared to it. I used to say they are a big 182, but they are just so much more refined and quiet than the 182.
To those who say twin is the be all and end all for all jobs, i have just started a job PIC on the C90 with only 150hrs twin, but 1000hrs of van time. Hours aren't everything, it's who you know and how you act that gets you by in this industry along with that experience.
Good luck with it all, and the person who said the 206 is harder to fly than the van is spot on!
btw try seair on the GC as they have 3 vans, and i know have or may be losing some pilots soon. worth a try.
