Sometimes easier said than done. Especially if the only 135 jobs are those where you're on a phone leash 24/7, few if any "hard" days off per month, they keep you out for weeks at time, whatever.......

None are on RJ pay. You don't get RJ pay until u are signed off from OE. They are all on bankruptcy SF3 or DH8 rates, not RJ rates.

It is a legitimate question for anyone that wants to stay out of debt. Most pilots need to supplement their income somehow, there is no way to make regional FO pay work for the first couple of years without another stream of income. That is what this job has become, pathetic, but it is what it is.

Agreed. Many wanted the vacation with pay and bid that way on purpose such as an SF3 pilot bidding the Q knowing they would never go to class, but many weren't eligible for the earlier classes (Q guys/gals). Being current in the 121 world is definitely worth something.

PenAir in Anchorage AK. Home every night. Some guys bid reserve lines and work in there garage on stuff during the day. If they call clean up and go to work. Always back by the next morning.
