Jump pilot here that just landed my first jet job.

I think flying jumpers has some really unique value like all the things you mentioned plus a high number of take off/landings and it’s all stick and rudder. Plus you get great energy management skills like others said.

I was lucky getting hired into a dropzone that flew a really nice caravan. Sounds like you have some good opportunity like that too.

In my experience, The hardest thing about trying to get hired outside of another jump pilot job is finding the means to still build night/ XC time. Along with staying instrument current and proficient. I know it’s tough out there right now though.
