500tt with instructors is the magic number in Bots to fast track into a job in bots. In TZ, the rating also comes in handy because it's technically required for someone to be a training captain... that or an ATPL. However, from what i've seen, it's better to hire a 206 driver from bots with 1000tt rather than an instructor with +3000tt.... most just dont have the "hands&feet"... some do real well tho... bush flying isnt rocket science.
