2nd Job on Reserve Ideas
 
So since I have been on reserve for weeks without being called, I was wondering if anyone else who is constantly sitting reserve has been able to find a second job that allows you to be flexible enough to leave work if called or not come in if put on a trip.

I'm wondering if there is anything that you guys have found anything that may allow you to set your own hours or be very very flexible. Not only am I rotting away, I need the money...like most of us.

I put this in the regional forum because its most likely us who would have the best ideas on this.

Any ideas?

You work at trans states and you aren't getting called on reserve? Scheduling mist have lost your phone number. When I was on reserve there I would routinely fly 70-80 hours a month.

Worked for Trans States...got abused on reserve, but at least I was making 110+ hrs of credit.

Now I'm at Compass and haven't been touched.

if you have any knowledge of golf you can be a caddie. i use to make about 100-120$ a round. Sometime 200$ when we had golf outings. cash in your pocket. it usually takes about 4 hours for a round of golf. i use to get the first group of guys...be finished by 11am. you show up when you want.

I suggest you stay up between the hours of 12 to 6am and flip through the channels. There you will find the answer. If you have any sort of set time in a schedule you can always go to Wal Mart and work for a month or so untill you get senior enough to get schedules. They need people and for all kinds of hours. But what if they call you?? I don't know.

I'm a real estate appraiser. off days due the house inspetions due the reports on the road. since it is all email now submitting reports no need to have to worry about next day fedexing reports off.

Until you get "THE CALL" and drop everything and run like a madman to the club house. Hopefully there's a phone booth along the way so you can do that quick change into your uniform like Superman. :eek:

I've waited tables in the past, and would love to do it again. But that's not a good job to say, "sorry guys, I gotta go"
