Part Time
Would you support a part time airline pilot position at your airline? For example, if a pilot could bid a schedule where he only works 1 trip per month, maybe 10 hours of flying over 2 or 3 days for the entire month, would you support this?

No. I don't want to fly with someone that will require babysitting besides the fact that it will errode a CBA. The rule of unintended consequences. Maybe drop down to 40-50 hours.
If you want to fly part time go buy a Cessna jet type, and contract.

It's worth noting that at PSA lineholders can drop trips from their schedule down to 65 hours. If you could get efficient trips that means you could get about 18 days off.
Honestly that's as close as you're going to get.

My memory is a little hazy but I believe Republic lets FA's bid a reduced schedule I think flying around 8-10 days a month and still keep their benefits. The only stipulation from what I remembered was you had to be employed for a year full time before you could bid the reduced schedule. It would never work for pilots though because of the training cost. Part time pilots don't make sense at airlines.

Remember this thread?

There are lots of former airline pilots who are qualified with ATP and 1500 hours etc.. who would consider coming back but not for the current money. This might be a way to bring back experienced pilots.

This is similar to a lot of places. I did this back in January from the absolutely terrible schedule pbs awarded me. I was able to drop or trade away all the junk wound up working about 40hrs, the paychecks were horrible though obviously. It was nice having the mini vacation but not something I would say Id be able to do again. As for being rusty...it took maybe half a second to remember the after start flow but might not be so easy for someone consistently doing it.
