Anyone drive for Uber to supplement your addiction(Airline pilot)?

It seems very appealing as it's extremely flexible and pays decent. Just want to hear from those with first hand experience.

 

I've thought about it, but don't want strangers messing up my car

 

Not anymore. Supply of drivers now far exceeds the supply of users. And there are a lot of other issues as well.

Tons of info online about this. Better yet, use the service and ask the person who picks you up about the gig.

Don't be surprised when they pull over and ask you to get out when you tell them you are investigating diluting their driver ranks even further.

 

Depends on where you live. I've been in places where there was one or two available drivers within 15 minutes.

 

I'm not an airline pilot, but I do both Uber and Lyft in addition to my FT job. You're an independent contractor so there's no employment benefits. The upside is you can work as little as you'd like.

A quick Google search will bring up many, many articles explaining the pros and cons of the industry, but I thought I'd chime in.

As mentioned above, the demand depends on your region. The state I reside in still has been kind of slow to adopt ridesharing, so I don't have to work as hard. I tend to make around $1k per month extra just working weekends, so I can see how it would be viable to the young regional airline pilot on reserve.

I've heard of full time guys making $4-5k a month, so it definitely can be viable. If you're not sure, I'd just sign up anyways. The application process is ridiculously easy to not do so.

If you do, make sure you PM me for my referral code before you register so we both can get the $100+ buck signup bonus.

 

I assume those number are gross income--before self employment/income taxes and expenses?

Since you drive for both, can you comment on the advantages of each service from the customer's point of view? Any reason for a customer to prefer one over the other?
