Part Time Employment Pilots??

Be a substitute teacher

Substitute teachers make $85-125/day in my area. You are eligible if you have a college degree. Even better, you can hum The Who's "Substitute" as you go to work knowing that this song was written for you! Nice part is, you are never committed, its one day at a time and there is always a shortage.

What area are you in? That is good pay for as easy as the job is. In my area the more money you make the worse the school system is.

I have had a great time subbing. Its almost like being on reserve yet you have total control over your schedule.

And yes, "Substitute" has run through my head many times...great song, great group

Tell me IMMELMAN, Who's upgrading after a couple of years? And don't say Great Lakes. Be careful how much cool-aid you drink because in the regionals, you still going to be left feeling very thirsty. I am very aware of what mgmt tells their new hires during INDOC, they say what they feel is necessary to keep employees motivated, smiling, upbeat, etc, etc,. Mgmt's job is easier when less FO's quit.

At least the Great Lakes pilots can get their 1000 pic turbine, a little extra time in the log book, and then a job at SWA, Jetblue, or Spirit, and in some cases UPS, or FedEx.

Yo Hawk, heres a short list which is pretty close:

air whiskey - feb 04
republic - jan 05
colgan - aug 05
commute air - < 2yrs
pinnacle - april 05
skyway - jun 05
trans states - jan 04

Five pages into it and I think I counted two maybe three legitimate answers to the guy's original question. All he wanted to know was if anybody had any good ideas about how to make some extra money.....geez.

What a bunch of spoiled, weak-minded, whiners you are. Go get some perspective. I assure you that at any given moment someone else is having a far worse day than you.

I see this thread going downhill........real quick......

Good job guys......

Ha! Too late. This thread started heading south on about post #5.

Who's talking about making 100K? I'm talking about having enough money to pay for a place to live, some food to eat and to pay bills. There is no way I could live on 22K a year. I think that the minimum acceptable salary for a professional is 30K/yr.

as I said, what makes you think you deserve more than 22k your first yr. And i know you mean first yr because at your second yr your grossing more than that. Most first yr fo's barely know there ass from there elbow year 1. there is a learning curve son, all industries have them. Ours is just a little more pronounced.

I was just wondering if anybody has found anything worth while that 135/121 guys can do on the side for extra income?? Legitimate employment??

Don't worry about it anymore. The FAA approved the 65 year old rule. Now you have 5 more years to make your CEO rich, er, I mean, to make up pay....

Why yes. You can BOHICA on the street corner like a good US regional pilot does. Maybe give hand jobs in the bathroom at the airport in between flights. You might even get a tip! I heard you can make good coin in SFO, just watch your six.
