Part Time Employment Pilots??

Misusing the word "scab" only cheapens the meaning and lessens the importance to when it really is applicable. Just because there is a flightinfo modern day usage, doesnt change a real meaning.

Never saw anything about the wage BS you posted either. Nice try.






Definitions of scab on the Web:
[SIZE=-1]form a scab; "the wounds will eventually scab"
someone who works (or provides workers) during a strike
the crustlike surface of a healing skin lesion
fink: take the place of work of someone on strike

Does bus driver pay sound familiar? I thought God created us equal? How are you better than the bus driver. You have no respect for this industry.

I have more experience and connections with part 121 flying than you think.

Good luck in your career I hope you arn't dissappointed.

 

[Hobit]

Oh so what is it?

I asked before and you dodged the question.

Obviously you dont have enough to use the word 'scab' correctly with out spin.

then you alter the definition.

Guess you're trolling too.

yeah, 20 posts and nothing but confrontation.....

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

Good job guys......

Last upgrade at Pinnacle was a april 05 hire. 20 months to make 65k+. Still pretty pathetic wages however. There is another 30 or so upgrades next month that could go down to 14-18 months possibly.

Excuse me.....$65,000 is pathetic for 20 months on the job????

Whatever you are smoking...let me have some.

Substitute teaching. Most school systems pay $50 to $80 a day. Extremely flexible. An automated system calls you, gives you the job info and you press 1 for accept or 2 for decline, in a nutshell. You can call the system and input days that you are not available. Pretty simple stuff. Most school systems have a difficult time getting subs, I get called constantly. I normally fly 85-90 hours a month, I usually do not pick up extra trips, I am away from home enough with commuting so this works well for me. Also its a great way to save money, invest it, and build up an emergency fund so when the industry craps itself again you will be in a good position.

Yes, I have read the other posts, pay is low, professional pilots shouldn't have to have a second job etc. I am well aware of and I believe that BUT when you have 13-15 days off a month that extra money lets you make an extra payement on the car or mortgage so that you can get completely out of debt and then you won't have to have that second job.

Good luck.

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.

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

 

[immelman79]

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....

Soo...... back to the origional question, any legit sources of income for pilots? Only on FlightInfo.... man I love it.

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.
