Ever consider a Taxicab driver? Reference the movie, "Look Who's Talking" Work when want to and Good Tips. I do it.

Hey guys,
Some options, one of which was already mentioned, are being teachers... You can be a Substitute Teacher here in the DFW Metroplex for somewhere around $75.00 to $100.00 a day... All you need to do is pass a background check (which I'm sure an airline pilot can easily do) and you're set to go... Some school districts require a two or four year degree and some require none at all. But remember how you treated your subs when you were a kid and think long and hard about this one. To be honest, the kids you'll be teaching are much like senior airline management that you already deal with... They'll take advantage of you and try to convince you that they're doing you a favor. Hee, hee...
Second, contact your local community college and talk to department heads about being Adjunct Faculty. In this case, you generally teach a class one night a week for the semester, and the pay was about $1500.00 per class, per semester. I once taught a couple of classes and it produced about an extra $1000.00 a month. It was easy and I really, really enjoyed it.
The only other option I have been contemplating is submitting a resume to the Medallin, Columbia drug cartels... There is no sim ride, (though this is where your commercial maneuvers like turns around a "drop spot" will really come in handy) and they wont alert your current crew scheduling to the extra hours you'll be flying. I'm kidding of course.
Good luck and big bucks!
Jason

Funeral Home "Runner". I've been doing it for about a year now. $12/hr, I say when I'm available, reserve short call while 'running' = no problem, minimal gross stuff, profound personal growth experience (seriously!).

Look at your local hospital. You can work in security, patient registration, lab courier etc. Pay is usually 10-20/hr maybe more with shift diff. It's how I paid the bills while working at Commutair and how I pay the bills now that I am out of a job at Piedmont.

I've been Valet parking at a hotel since I got furloughed post 9-11. Its good cash money if you can find a hotel or something. I still manage to flight instruct during the day, and pick up evening shifts on-call.

I work at the counter at one of the FBOs at the airport on the weekends. Most of the fuelers are also instructors at other schools in ADS.

That substitute gig sounds kinda cool. Easy money to pick on rugrats... you can hypnotize them for hours about your pilot stories. "Good morning class. My name is Captain Smith. That's right, I am airline pilot."


BWA HA HA...

substitute teaching....pay is depending on your area. major metro cities pay big...smaller ones pay about what youd make elsewhere. in this town im in....its $65 a day....minus tax.
im doing the security guard bit for a short while....and thats $65 a day...minus tax...and i dont have little kids...i dont have to do crap. i can even get away with listening to the radio and occasionally stealing peeks at a newspaper/crossword or what not. aint bad...just not enough to do really.

whats the pros and cons of being the real-estate guy? how much BS is there and how long does it take to get the license? type ratings involved? :>
