I fly Part 91 on the side (corporate PC-12 gigs.) Am I allowed to continue that once I am a Skywest employee?

Probably not, but I guess it would depend on how much you do on the side and how much you fly at SkyWest since that can cause legality issues if you fly too much.

Once you become more senior and get more control over your schedule, life becomes easier. One senior FO in my base pretty much flight-instructs all day every day; SKW is this dude's side job. Plenty of other dudes have other gigs such as real estate, etc...but that is super hard to do when you're on reserve, or a junior lineholder getting CN'd into 17-hour 4-days followed by an 8.5 hour 2-day. (that's 6 days of work in a row, of course.)...

I think SKYW is one of the few if not only airline that lets the pilots fly 91 without needing to ask permission.
But then again I like to make up things on the internet.

If you make $$ on the side, flying, it interferes with 117 rest rules, I think. So if there ever was an incident and the FAA digs around, it's not on SKYW for violating them, it would be on you. And probably lose your SKYW job..? Definitely a worst case scenario.
That's my rationale to be careful with what I fly on the side.

It does say that regardless of the activity, you must be fit for duty, obviously.

Oh neat. So CFI work on the side does not count according to precedence is what I gather from that?
