Part Time Work
 
So Im thinking of picking up a part-time job on some of my days off. Any suggestions? It needs to be flexable for obvious reasons.

Wal-Mart. They're really flexible.

Just be careful with how much you fly on the side if that the type of work you plan on doing. The Company and the FAA will have an issue if you run into a egulatory problem limiting your ability to fly a trip or worse if you over fly any of the limits.

The feds just published some info on this

Good Luck

If you want to do something that doesn't undermine your qualifications, like Wal-Mart, try teaching. I'll be doing so at a university in the Fall if all things go well. Two classes a week. Will be fun and help pay the bills.

I became a part-time cop. I come and go as I please. I will be sitting reserve and I will get a call out. I just drive the squad to the station, hop into my truck, and off to the airport I go.I do make a quick pit stop at home to change. :)

This might sound funny. I knwo one pilot who was on reserve and worked at one of the airport subways. He let management know his sitiuation and when he got called to a flight he left, changed into his uniform and went to the aircraft in the other terminal.
Part time cop or part time teacher might be ideal as well. Just dont get shot when you supposed to be at home reserve. LOL. I have heard it to be a good part time gig however. Keep looking at your options.

I got a part time school bus driving job as a sub. I give them the days I want to work and if I can't work for a whole month no big deal. It is very flexible and pays decent.

Dang man I didnt know that! ......Im actually going to start reffing football and basketball games on the side. I guess we all could use a little more CA$H huh?? :rolleyes:

kalyx522 04-02-2009 02:41 PM

yeah i racked my brains too for a second job... since i dont have special skills like being able to impersonate elvis, i decided to go for server. apparently people are still eating out in this dismal economy. figures it pays more than clerking at staples or folding shirts at gap. i looked into the substitute teaching thing... but i figured the income isnt reliable since you dont know how much they'll use you, plus you dont know when they might need you so you cant make plans. (i mean you could make plans, but then if they did end up calling you, you'd miss out on the work, which is the whole point of having a second job in the first place.)

plus im hoping i can score a free meal whenever im at work. :o

it's amazing how much regional airline pilots value free food! lol.. before I started doing this, I never thought about it... pretty sad, but that's what it's come to!

Alot of the theme parks in Fla are hiring lifeguards part-time figure I just throw that out

Gchamp3 04-02-2009 02:58 PM

The US Census is hiring for the 2010 census.

From what I hear you just take a test and its a fairly simple employment. Good pay.

Some work from home.

jaded 04-02-2009 03:02 PM

I make websites as a side job. Best part is, I get to work while sitting reserve or on an overnight. Speaking of which, you guys should check out my last two projects, it's my signature below.

In regards to being a sub teacher, do you have to be state certified? How exactly do you go about with getting your foot in the door at a school? Just call them and ask if there looking for subs?

Why would you need a part-time job? You are an airline pilot and pilots are professionals that get companesated as such.... oh, wait NOT! ;)

no state certification was needed for the states that i looked at, so i'd have to assume that is the case for most if not all states. you can just google substitute teacher and your state/county/city, and that will take you to the education dept page and it will list the requirements. the couple of states i've looked at require an application (and a fee depending on the state), background check, letters of recommendation, that sort of thing.

One more thing to add to that...

My wife substitutes, and it's not a bad gig. She has a teaching credential and is trying to get her foot in the door, but you don't need all that. District to district is a little different, but so far the ones she has worked at have been pretty much the same.

All you need is a 4 year degree, go the district website nearest you to find out the specific requirements - tests, fingerprinting etc... The systems are usually web based, and you look for jobs to pick up on the website. It tells you the times and school/grade and you click to accept it. The other system is phone based, and you give them your availability (every day if you want) and the automated phone system calls you at all hours of the night letting you know if jobs are available. You take the jobs you want. Probably not the best to do on reserve days, but it could be great for the days off.

My wife's pay has ranged from 65-120 per day, depending upon the district. And you can usually find something every day you are available. I'd say probably 95% of the time she gets a job for the day. And the more districts you sign up with, the more likely you are to get something. It's tough work, but once you find some niche you like teaching it's not so bad. She has some horror stories from the first couple months until she figured out schools and grade levels she liked.

But for your own sake stay away from the high school girls!

You would imagine since all of us has to pass a 10 year background check, but they never bothered to check if their future airline employees are pedophiles!:)
