So, I'm off 4 days a week and I'm starting to think I should put my time to some better use. I've found plenty to keep me busy with my off time, but I can't help but think I could be a lot more productive and actually make more $$$ on my time off.

Any of you guys have part time jobs or ideas that are aviation related? I'd like to do something that could possibly better my career and maybe learn a new skill without having to go back to school. I'd rather not instruct or fly since my company doesn't really allow it.

Thanks
 
Be careful looking for part-time work. I know several guys that ended up finding situations where they actually made more on their part time job than they did flying. They eventually were too busy making money to have any time to whine and bitc#.

Seriously if you live in California or anywhere that pays for recycling just go around and find CRV bottles and cans and turn them in...MONEY BABY!

I considered making my debut on the rap scene, but my freestyle skills just aren't there yet.:0

Do you have any telemarketing experience? You can work the telephones for Red Cross up in Kennesaw. 10.00/hr. They have day and night shift avail. They hire through Axiom Staffing Group. Just forward your resume to [email protected]

You could volunteer for some union work if you weren't such a divisive scumbag.
 
DPE. The best job ive ever had! and the time is not logged so it will not count against your annual monthly or weekly times at an airline. Plus it makes guys like PBR really mad cause they try to get you in trouble with the Feds when you kinda are one ha ha hah ah a

Man, one day I wouldn't mind doing that kind of stuff. The money they make (do they even report it?) is usually hundreds in cash for a few hours while making a pilot sweat profusely. :0

From what I recall, these DPE's were always booked up far in advance too. Great paying job, but I think it's a hard one to land. Heavily about who you know, is my understanding.
 
Call CAE, they're usually looking for part-time help. I shot my stuff in and they contacted me last week. Money is good there, but you'll have to commute to Canada most likely for the work.
 
You can utitlize your free company parking pass, and collect Smart Carts at the airport. If you had to pay for parking, it wouldn't pay off. However, at $0.25 a cart, it could pay close to $10/hr or more tax free money. I used to work the graveyard shift for an airline in DEN many years ago. We had some down time around midnight, so three of us went out and collected carts. It was an extra $10 per person. Just a tip...When you redeem the carts, ALWAYS check the change dispenser after each cart is redeemed. Once the machine is out of quarters, you are returning carts for free.

DPE? I wish, those guys make bank. I knew one who was booked to the gills, and it was all cash. Not really sure how to go down that road, however I'd say I'm grossly unqualified.

Substitute teaching... low cost to get qualified (usually $100 for the background check), flexible schedule (they call when they need you, if you can't do it, say no), and I'm sure you could request a downtown school in the ATL so the kids could help you with those "freestyle" skillz u r lookn 4 yo.

Let me guess you are recruiting recyclers for that idiot Obama who is gonna change the world. Too funny...
 
Being a DPE is great! look up the requirements you might be suprised to see you could be qualified... getting the designation complete is another story but WELL worth the time invested. the hardest qualification for most guys is 300 pic last 12 months.. it is somewhat seasonal and economy based... but a great part time gig with better than full time pay.

I got hired as a substitute for Cobb County ISD and there was no background check fee. I still have to do orientation though so hopefully it doesn't come up there....
 
Substituting is actually something I thought about. But I think it only pays $80 a day. I don't know if that is enough to put up with the crap from the kids that would probably come along with it.

But check it, my freestyle skillz could probably benefit from it fo shiiiiiz. Word.
 
Hey, what kind of background do you need to do part time substitute teaching?

I thought one needed a state teaching license or something. Maybe even their masters.
 
HAHAHA this is ATL man. You don't need no stinking degree. They are happy just to have a warm body standing in front of the classroom.

I read the website for the elementary school a couple miles up the street (Dekalb County) and only 10% of the teachers actually have college degrees. Pretty sad.

wow. that's incredible and sad. A few friends became teachers, but you're required to have at least a BA and need to finish the Masters within 5 years. The NYC Board of Education requires this, at least for teachers. Not sure about the subs, but would think it would be required to at least possess a BA.
