Outside flying for compensation in any form is prohibited per company policy. I would love to part time CFI on the side just to keep my GA and teaching skills up, but can't. It is best to finish up your students before you leave, or if you can't set them up with another instructor. Do not lie to them and tell them you will be back in a few days after they send you home to wait for class.

The director of flight ops just recently approved outside flying for pilots only who are on the training delay.

This should have been implemented a long time ago. Especially now that the training delay is longer. The folks in training should definitely take advantage of this to keep their instrument flying proficiency up.

We recently received an FOM revision memo which officially prohibits outside flying for compensation. Is there a separate memo that gives permission to the pilots in training?

Would have been nice to know before I quit my CFI job 4 days before training...

I believe the FOM revision prohibits flying for compensation unless authorized by the company. That could be the loophole that allows new hires to continue flying.

There was just a must read that came out within the last day or two. There’s a change in the verbiage of the FOM’s policy on outside flying.

The previous policy was “..prohibits pilots from flying professionally for compensation for any operation other than Republic..”.

The new verbiage, effective 10/14 states “..prohibits pilots from flying professionally for compensation other than Republic Airline Inc. without prior approval by the Director of Operations (or designee)..”.

I thought the Dir of Ops could always make exceptions to that policy? Although very rare I have heard of it happening before.

Does this include jumpseat privileges? And KCM?

You won't have CASS or KCM until you get your crew badge.

Is that after the checkride?
