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.

FAA Johnstone interpretation says that any flying done under part 91K or by a 119 certificate holder (aka 121, 135, 125) count against 117 limitations.

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?

I wonder how that would go since we have no American 175's

The whole point is to try to get 175s for American

There is a CFI hired on where I work that is a 1st year FO at Skywest. Although I never have seen him work.
