Please see my post to Gloopy below. There is nothing ridiculous about allowing a company to monopolize your trade without compensating for it when they restrict it. If you fly your line/reserve and can fall within FAR117 with your outside flying, I personally believe the company should have no right to restrict you and if they do, they should have to compensate you.

I'm only talking about when they say you can't. Flying airplanes is our only trade. If they restrict it, how is that fair at all?

By the way, I have personally been approved in the past but that was a long time ago. At this point, I would never fly outside bc they risk of incident/accident/violation is to great to jeopardize this job.
