Any commercial flying you do outside Delta still counts against your FAR max, but the simulator doesn't.

I've bumped into a few who have done that at FSI and FTI. Fun for a while, but the pay is so-so and the motivation dwindles.
" I can pick up a 2 day trip at DAL and that will equal 4 days of teaching over there".
Also liability was catching up to FTI after a few accidents.

If you ever feel comfortable in a MadDog, you have probably gone to the wrong gate and are not in a MadDog!

Just keep in mind any paid flying, even 91, will count against your 121 limits if it is before any 121 flying. You can fly 91 after 121 all you like. But, if it falls before 121 it must be counted and that's why it's usually prohibited because it's impossible for the company to track.

I'm no expert and maybe I'm reading it wrong. I just think they dropped the requirement to track hours flying plain old part 91 when they adopted 117.
