No, unless they're on reserve and bid a bad schedule.
We have part time flight attendents, but not pilots. Probably due to recurrent sim training costs...part-timers would need the same sim time.
Pilots can drop trips down to 62 hours without using vacation, so you can make yourself a pretty light schedule if you can afford.
