Workin on the side

[rampking]

Hey,
Anyone else doing other jobs on the side of aviation? I am dying to get involved in something else, just don't have a clue as to what. What are you guys/gals into?

I fly floats in the summer and construction when the snow flies [or I get laid off] .

[OceansEdge]

lotta guys in construction... we had an independent roofing contractor, a licensed electrician, a plumber, a drywaller, all we needed to do was hire a framer and I could have built a house

[GoinNowhereFast]

Construction pays pretty well too. I work about half as long and make the same amount.

Now let me get this straight, there are too many duty time limits imposed to keep pilots safe in the air, but what I am hearing is that instead of resting you are working second jobs ?? Did I get this right ?

Why not let the pilots fly 160 hrs a month instead of 80 !!! Would still be less than what the AMEs work

Only 1 post mentions flying and working elsewhere at the same time, the rest are what they do in the off season.

Logging flight hours is not like punching a time-card for your 173.3 hours a month.

I work in Pharmaceuticals.. becuase I went to university knowing I could train for aviation on the side.

cab driver (for those in YVQ)

[synthpro]

I do sales - Straight commission only, that way no one expects you to be there when you are on call flying.
