Do you meet part 135 pilot minimums? Assuming you're wanting to be a pilot and not in some other aviation employment category, that is the starting point for most commercial pilot jobs, even at small outfits. Not all, but most.

Contact Alpine Air. They fly the mail and UPS, in Beech 99's and 1900's here in Montana, based in Billings. The company is based in Utah I believe. There's quite a few FBO's that have charter contracts that are flying twin Cessna's and the like around here. Morrison Air, based in Helena; Richland Aviation, based in Sidney, both flying for UPS. There's an air ambulance outfit, Stat Air, flying C421's out of Glasgow(GGW). Lots of stuff, just start calling around.

Morrison Aviation was sold years ago, and is now Exec-Air Montana. They are driving twin cessnas, cheyennes and a lear.

The USA jobs web site has lots of openings. For example, in the search box type in Pilot Washington or a different job, state, etc.

Lots of fire spotters buzzing around in the summer time in Idaho.

Inter-state Aviation in Pullman had the contract with the forest service for fire spotting in northern Idaho. They usually hire a few pilots for that each summer. Doug Gadwa is the guy in charge. They also have a flight school with a few CFIs on staff, and there is pretty good turnover because most of them are just building hours trying to get into the commercial airlines.

Yes, but the FAA call sign and business name is still Morrison Air. Bought my Bo from the owner.
