That's just in-base (CVG).

I'm with XJ and based in MSP. I have put in many years of bartending but that has always come with a very strict schedule. The large hotel on-call thing sounds promising to look into.

A lot of other good ideas in the forum, keep them comming...

Bartending's great if you have a cool manager and flexible schedule...however, don't forget bar's are open until 2am, you're out the door after inventory and clean up by 330-4 on a busy night. It can wear on you. AND, if you don't have any bartending experience chances are just about anywhere they'll start you out as a host, bus boy, bar back, or server. Good luck!

Be a de-icer. You are already at the airport, possibly making more than at your pilot gig, so if you get called tell your boss you gotta jet in an hour and go over to ops where you can leave a suitcase packed at go to work. Or drive one of those plows too, I always thought that would be fun.

Try finding privately owned small businesses that need part-time help. They usually do schedules on a weekly or monthly basis, so they'll work with your changing airline schedule, just be upfront with them when you go in for your interview.

[quote=FNFAL;551077]It all depends what regional your going to fly for. Some regionals will fly the crap out of you on reserve.

May get spoiled with all that pizza money, making more than you are at a regional!
I worked for a friends pizza place and brought home like $50 a night in tips.

Where do you live?
