Food stamps!
Hey, I heard that 2 American Eagle pilots went together (don't know if this was recent or what) to where ever you go for this, in full uniform and applied for food stamps. Not sure if they were trying to make a point but I heard that Eagle got hold of this and fired the two for inappropriate wearing of their uniform. Anyone know if this whole story is true?

Good idea, and I just checked...I actually make about $170 too much :-/ Funny thing is this ammount is less than my actual grocery bill per month, so I guess if I made less money, and got the food stamps, I'd actually come out ahead and have more money in the end...sad but true.
anyone else got anything?

GlenQ-
Back in 2001, as a F.O. with a good schedule, I worked as Substitute Teacher. The money was good and the schedule was flexible. Some days I was there for only a couple of hours and still got paid for the entire day. I eventually ended up working with special needs kids. Gratifying work and a paycheck. If memory serves, I made 100.00 per day. I got a 25.00 bonus for having a 4 year degree. The only reason I stopped was that I upgraded as soon as I could and my schedule went in the toilet.
Good luck-

Oddly enough, I sell pilot shirts www.garffshirts.com
Got a laptop...and wondered how can i make some money with it....after all, i spend 100's of hours clicking and looking at nothing...So, came up with that....made an ecommerce site(from a template)...and 3 years later its still going...the trouble with it is I have a tangible product. Look at FI...no tangible product...come up with a cool idea for a website of some sort...and you wont have to mess with shipping, receiving, returns, exchanges and correspondence with customers etc.......
Goodluck!

Crj567= giving out $5 fellacio in the airport bathrooms!
I'm selling MonaVie.
I was approached twice before I became a distributor.
Yea it is a multi-level business but not many companies are not multi level. Look at an airline F/O>Capt> Asst Chief Pilot>Chief Pilot>Director of Flight Ops> Director of Airline Ops> Vice President of the Company> President of the Company. I'm sure I missed some titles.
I started selling MonaVie two months ago and making $200 a month. I have been working very part time in my business about 20 hours so far.(Vacations, kids going back to school, football season etc)
This is a perfect business for a pilot. First the start-up cost is zero $$.
The product is shipped directly from the warehouse to the consumer. There is no costs for inventory and no costs for storing the inventory.
Selling MonaVie is considered a home based business. Every trip I go on I bring a couple of MonaVie Emv drinks. Since my MonaVie office is at the house, mileage to and from the airport is a write off along with any other business costs on the trip. The tax benifit of a home based business can also lead to other write-offs. A percentage of electricity, water, gas, home phone, insurance, security monitoring, carpet cleaning for your home office to name a few.
It is safe to say Washington DC wont be lowering our taxes anytime soon.
Your business travels with you. If you change bases or go to a new airline in a new city, your business and residual income goes with you. There is no starting up new business contacts in the new area.
How much idle time do you spend at the hotels during your pairings? You could be working your business.
We are all one day closer to losing our medical, our license or furlough? How is your company STD/LTD?
For those luck to stay at the airline and retire, how's the airline pension?
I personally know of a guy selling MonaVie that is making over $7000 a week. He is a phone call away if I have question about my business since he is making money with me.
The pilot that started me selling MonaVie is making $1000 a month after 4 months. He is also a phone call away if I have questions about my business.
Here is a link to the income of MonaVie distributors in 2008. http://media.monavie.com/pdf/corporate/income_disclosure_statement.pdf
You can work your business a little for tax write-offs or work the business hard and make being an airline pilot a hobby.
Monavie is a billion dollar company. They sponsor a car in the Indy curcuit and are the drink of the Boston Red Socks to name a few.
Pm me if you are interested.

I own a part time rental business. Not sure what you don't understand.

well i understand the "part time" part, and the "business" part...but "rental" could mean a lot of different things to me. I was just trying to figure out if your bunsiness was renting cars, trucks, kayaks, jetskis, apartments, painball guns, etc ??? If you put in "part time rental business" into google you get a bunch of different things from cars to blow-up party trampolines to wedding rentals...
I guess I was just not sure how that would work, or what it was you rented...
So what exactly is it that your business rents? How is your business doing, are you able to make money with it? how long have you been doing that? was it a lot to start up or is like an affiliate business where you kinda make commission on what you rent... feel free to p.m. thanks

How about relocating vehicles?
GlenQ,
I know a guy who has a commercial truck drivers license and on his days off he works for a company that needs all sorts of different vehicles moved from point A to point B. Its kinda like picking up open time, they have the trips available on the computer and you can figure out which ones you would like to do. Ideally you could pick a trip from your area out to point A and have another trip lined up to bring you back home. Or you could jump out to wherever to pick the trip up or vice versa. He moves all sorts of things: semi's, RV's, school buses, UPS vans, garbage trucks etc. He usually tries to get trips that are doable in one day and do not require a fillup. I guess you get paid a mileage fee plus a fuel per diem. But usually the vehicle if full when you pick it up so you can pocket the fuel money as well if you do that.
He actually went to one of those schools to get the whole truckers license. However, he said that you dont even need that but I believe a class B license (you just would not be able to pull a trailer). And you can get someone else to pay for that by initially getting a job driving a school bus or commercial tour bus etc and have them foot the bill and then quit.
I think its actually a pretty cool gig to do on the side and obviously you have an advantage to get back and forth someplace without cost if you need to relocate between gigs.
There are many different companies that specialize in this but one of them is http://www.butlertransport.com/
Good luck!

A good friend of mine in Las Vegas does house inspections for realtors and banks that are foreclosing. It does involve some night school and you have to take a test for the state you are in but it does not take too long to complete. Once you get good at it you can knock out two a day no sweat. You get paid a flat fee of around $150 to $200 a shot.
