Can youflight instruct as well as fly for a Regional? Or does the company prefer you not do that?
Flight instructing counts toward your commercial time for the year. Some airlines will allow you to instruct but others will not, just ask them. YOU MUST BE CAREFUL, if the airline permits it (like SKW) you will have to seek permission. They will make it clear to you, that if it causes problems with your airline schedule you WILL BE IN DEEP $HIT.
Most 121 pilots that still flight instruct (that I know personally) do not log the time as duel given. Shady, but beware, this could jump up and bite you in the A$$.
Look at it this way. If you instruct only 10 hours a month, on average, that’s 120 hours a year. That reduces the number of hours you can fly for a 121 operator to 880 hours per year, and a 135 operater to 1080 (1200 hour year for Part 135). BEWARE, when they employ you they
EXPECT to be able to use all 1000 hours if need be!!!!
