moonlighting

Just flying a King Air, but, yes, I do outside work. As long as there is no conflict of time, it's ok.

 

[semperfido]

some do , many don't....it is usually not an easy or practical thing to co-ordinate.

 

[Bandit60]

The simple answer is no for my company.

As with Hellas company, my employers don't mind at all as long as there is no conflicts with any trips. I always give my self plenty of time and contigencies to make sure I make sure I'm home in time.

Is your company a strict part 91 corporate job? I would be interested to see how many strict 91 corporate operators work this out.

Yes. Our dept. flies so few hours each month that it becomes a matter of safety for me. Contract flying keeps me from getting rusty. The boss understands this and we have his blessing to do all the "side" work we want.

Our company is strictly 91. It's easy to avoid conflicting trips because we know our schedule 1-2 months in advance.

Outside flying

Our manual (Part 91) allows for this with the approval of the Chief Pilot. Does not happen that often, buy occasionally it will pop up. No problems so far.

My company is strictly part 91, no charter. I don't have my schedule as far out as HMR, but the average is 3-4 weeks in advance. It's plenty of time especially for pop up trips I do a few times a month. The boss is also very understanding, but I don't take advantage of this by pushing it. Like I said earlier, I always have a plan to get home with time to spare.

I have on occation. It just turns out to be more trouble than it is worth. Besides, I have friends that are qualified that are un-employed. If anyone calls me I always pass on their info to the prospective contractee.

 

[THE Flying Ace]

My company does not. Fear of liability. In this day of sue happy people, some lawyers are advising to not allow outside flying. They are afriad that if I go and fly for somebody else and crash, that it may be proved that the training is at fault from the original (or full time) company. Go figure I say, Simuflite provides the training.

 

[wingnutt]

nope...

mostly because im on salary, but also for liability issues as ace pointed out.

I've been doing some part-time flying for the past year, but first I asked our Director, who contacted the Legal Department, before "blessing" the outside work. I also got a written OK, just in case someone said something at a later date. The only restriction is that the "day job" comes first and all outside work is done on my own time (weekends off, holidays, vacation days or payback days).

It becomes a little stressful at times when you have delays and you may not make it back home as planned so I always tried to have a one day buffer between jobs.
