At ExpressJet the official policy is that you must have permission to do outside flying that is not purely recreational flying. Taking a 172 to a friends house, field hopping in a SuperCub or riding ridge lift in a Blanik would be acceptable.

Normal people all work an 8 hour day and go home every night.

Glad you have defined normal for the rest of us ;)
And yes Ar Pilot.....there was a hint there.

I just figured I would help everyone out with normal. :D

the regional pilots that I know or have met, either due to 1) Not enough time or 2) A desire for an outside life, nobody is chasing flying gigs during their days off. If you have a BF/GF/Spouse, even less so.

Remember the liability involved, say on your day off, you are teaching for FREE (thus no compensation and possibly technically in compliance with your employer's policy), BUT, your student busts an altitude or something happens. Now you have a potential FAA inquiry. All while "flying on the side" and apps into the majors for interviews.

Is this worth it ?

Again, I have not seen many regional guys doing this. Major airline guy who is at his retire-from-here place, with ample days off, and salary to match yes, several examples, but mostly recreationally, not for pay.

But, good luck

Recreational flying not a problem.

Flying for hire, eg. instructing, is a problem as any compensated flying counts towards your 30 in 7, 100/month and 1000/yr.

The first time you call your chief pilot to tell them you can't finish your 4 day trip due to a 30 in 7 problem because you instructed 7 hrs on your days off, well, you will be given a choice real quick. (And how are you going to fudge this in your logbook if you're doing it to "build time" as someone suggested?!)

Yes. Flight time/duty regs change in January. Will cause even more issues with required rest in 7 days.

Most people get 16 hours off per day + two days off on the weekends. Airline pilots don't have the luxury of being able to do their laundry and run errands after work each day. All I was saying with my post is that I realized that I need my two full days off that I get per week to catch up on things I couldn't do during the week. Instructing is pretty much out of the question until I'm senior.

Since you say it's a club and you are not paid cash and since you are closing in on 1500 hours the flight time is of no value to you you're good to go.
