Hourbiuding:- Aerial Foto Vs Paradropping

[squawk0033]

After completing a CAP509 & spending a few months loosing at the airline recruiting game I managed to get a job paradropping in a C206 (now got 310hrs TT),recently I've been offered a job doing aerial photography in a C172.Which would look best on the CV from an airlines' point of view?

The one that gives you most hours. Beware of some of the photo flight deals, as it gets a bit grey on the hire and reward/AOC side of things.

It all comes down to the individual hirer as to what they think of either background I think.
Aerial photo work is more dangerous, and the people rather unscroupulous from my experience.
In the scheme of things its all single engine time, and multi is what really matters.
Who is the photo outfit that have offered you the job? Email me if you like for more.
