I've done contract work for the San Francisco branch for about four years now. They pay fairly well, at least the SF branch does.
I assume you have your 107 license and it is current.
yes, part 107 and renewed, I am very well trained already in photogrammetry, laying GCPS and Check Points, Thermal and RGB inspection, and so on.
Thank you for the links, anything else would be much appreciated Sir
Multivista also sells exclusive operational areas as a franchise. It looks like Las Vegas /Nevada is one.
You could reach out to the franchisee to see what they say.
I suppose I recommend them because I have enjoyed working with them as a contractor for about four years now.
Yes you can do better digging up your own gigs, but you you work for them you will learn a lot. Not only that they now have a nation wide account with T-Mobile. I've only done one T-Mobile site for them and I don't have the cell tower training that is really needed.
They have a lot going for them beyond UAV work, they do ground photography for construction. The also setup and maintain fixed position security cameras.
As for the Avion school, it is top notch, the instructors are ex military with wide range of knowledge, I learned a lot in that week long class. The only draw back was they also take you the training to get your 107 license, so that part was pretty boring for me. But the hands on that amounted to about 50% of the class time was outstanding.
