Private water bombers are paid a per-diem, regardless of whether they do any drops or not. Thus the safest way to make money is pretend you saw a drone. Aerial operations will shut down and you get your money with zero work and zero wear and tear on your aircraft. The vast majority of "Drones" spotted from aircraft are not really drones, they are birds or plastic bags or a figment of the imagination.
