Part 91 flying

UPS Off Duty Flying
It is the crewmember's responsibility to assure he is available and within FAA guidelines when reporting for work regardless of any flying activity outside of Company business. However, no crewmember shall perform flying, which would count toward his maximum flight/duty limitation under the FARs. This does not restrict the flying of military aircraft by a crewmember affiliated with a military guard or reserve organization
So, one may want to read this FAA document regarding Part 91 to determine your status. https://www.faa.gov/about/office_org...rpretation.pdf

If you want to teach a friend or family member, sure. If you just really like flying, buy a plane and fly it yourself. Odds are you will have hobbies outside of aviation that keep you occupied between trips.

Interest rates are incredibly low at the moment. HELOC or even an unsecured loan is maybe 5-8% ATM, with no prepayment penalty. You could pay it off in a couple of months on second year pay. For my part, I have no intention of leaving myself open to any sort of trouble from Brown under any circumstances during my (hopefully) probationary year. Yes sir, no sir, how high sir?

Yeah, I dunno, maybe it's a weird confluence of the fact that the first year pay is so low and UPS tends to hire older dudes. I'm right in what I understand to be the "normal" hire age range, and my plan (should it all pan out) is to fly min guarantee for the first year both because the money is so bad and because I want to limit my exposure to any kind of trouble until I'm off probation. I'm sure the calculus is different for people who have kids or other obligations, but I plan to work on the house, or the bike, or the car, or whatever, and show up to work with a smile on my face, a song in my heart, and zero intention of working any more than I'm obliged to. It just doesn't make any financial sense to fly extra at UPS or anywhere else while you're still in the "try it out and return it if you don't like it" phase. Keep your head down.
