I have a skill set that would allow me to make enough money on the side as to not take a substantial hit if I can count on getting 20 billable hours in a week. In your opinion is this possible?
That shouldn't be a problem...from
my experience, most overnights are in the 13-18 hr range (I fly mosty the -700, the -200 can vary more). If you take 8 hours of sleep, and a bit of time to un-wind and eat, you should have plenty.
