Perhaps I'm FOS, but keep at it. You'll find what you want, particularly if you're in a hot spot. Just about everyone who wants to be an airline geek is getting hired right now. The vacuum at the bottom has just begun.

Plane Sense has part time positions but they are only for the PC-12. If PSM or PDK based it is 8 on 20 off. For all other bases it is 9 on 19 off, but if you fly a PC-12 on Day 0 you do get OT pay.

Wheels Up - 8 on 20 off

The 8 ON 20 OFF thing at Wheels Up is once you've been there FULL time. Afterwards, they'll consider offering the part time gig. I know, I talked with them about that exact thing. They seemed really nice with a pleasant demeanor. Maybe even a nicer culture there. True, they're not profitable yet and growing a lot. Good luck.

If you don't mind flying a PC-12 Plane Sense offers Part time positions of 8 on and 20 off. You have to be Full time (7on 7 off) until you get off green as a Captain, which with training and 3-4 FO rotations should be 6-7 months.
