As others have stated, we used to be able to do this. Why we can no longer is an interesting question. I had, and still have it somewhere, an Outside Flying Letter. Basically you had to agree to not exceed the FAR hour limits and you could not work for a company or entity that directly competed with Purple. Since the vast majority of us do not block anywhere near the FAR limits it was a pretty good gig. On first year pay it made a lot of sense to dump Purple trips since outside corporate flying paid so much more. When the word came out that it was no longer authorized I asked every person in my food chain at the time why. The answer; because we said so. I am certain there are those that still do this, just beware of the consequences if your part-time job involves compensated, non-military flying and gets discovered. Lying here remains a one-way street.
