ASA Flight Time
I was reading on ASA's website. It said they are hiring with 800/50. Thats amazing. I used to be a Ramp Agent for ASA and wouldlove to work there. I currently have 530/50. But I want to flight instruct just because I like to teach.
Can youflight instruct as well as fly for a Regional? Or does the company prefer you not do that?

Most 121 pilots that still flight instruct (that I know personally) do not log the time as duel given. Shady, but beware, this could jump up and bite you in the A$$.
Look at it this way. If you instruct only 10 hours a month, on average, that’s 120 hours a year. That reduces the number of hours you can fly for a 121 operator to 880 hours per year, and a 135 operater to 1080 (1200 hour year for Part 135). BEWARE, when they employ you they EXPECT to be able to use all 1000 hours if need be!!!!

and even if you don't log it (which is bad) there is someone else that will (the student, whose logbook you endorsed).
in general, if you fly for an airline, you give up the CFI gig. the only way to instruct and also fly a jet for someone and not have to worry about flight time limits is part 91.(Fractionals and corporate ops)

I think it depends on what kind of flying that is. I believe if you just go up and joyride on the weekends under 91, that wouldn't count towards the 1000 hours.

Yea, you can do as much personal GA flying as you want. This also includes Civil Air Patrol, Angel Flights, etc. The only area where there's some conflict of opinion is unpaid volunteer flight instruction. Some here say it's ok, some say it's not.
