Hey all,

Just wondering if any of you out there can throw some ideas around for part-time jobs doing whatever. Currently living in a med sized city flying charters three to four days a week with weekends off. Need some extra cash.

Thanks!

Why not become a flight instructor. There is always complaints about the level of instruction from the "Higher Ups" on this web site.

I know a Class 4 instructor that charters full time and instructs part time he is one of the best instructor I have ever met.

I also got my training from a West Jet pilot instructing on the side.

Step up guys if you have the time on the side come down to the trenches instead of just complaining about it, help out.

If you're looking to keep the part time job in the aviation industry stick with what Lurch said. When you start out as a class 4 you will have to work through an FTU, but once you get the class three..you're golden..work freelance. If you just want to teach IFR/multi you don't need the instructor rating (I am assuming you have 500 PIC and 50 multi). There are alot of people with their own a/c that want IFR ratings.
If you want a change from aviation there are a few ideas. If you have a degree you could tutor. Or, alot of places are looking for WHIMS training.

If you actually want to earn money instead of instructing, restaurants and bars are extremely profitable. Just be careful to get on with someone who'll respect your scheduling needs (ie. not make you close down the bar when you need to fly first thing the following morning) and don't require you to accept drinks that are bought for you on shift (a very common policy in clubs)

If you do go that route be careful who you party with in that industry. You don't want any second hand MJ or to be caught by the cops in a house full of strange substances - every restaurant/bar has one (or more)

You need a Grade 5 education to be the CEO of Air Canada

Go to BC for the weekend. Some guys there will pay you what you think pilots are worth. Huge bonus for a simple two or three hour night x-country. And to show you they really care, if something goes wrong they will see to it you get free room, board, and medical care for 10 or so years.

I know this was probably a serious question, but I really dont have any serious answers.

Hey! This winter I filled in as CFI & PRM of a small FTU. Ya think I'm in it for the $$$?!

I wish more experienced pilots would instruct part-time.

Hedley.

I am on the countdown. About 1800 hours more flying to go and then I can renew my instructor's rating. I am kind of looking forward to it, though it seems that there has been alot of changes is the motivation to learn to fly. Hope that is just a passing thing.

" I wish more experienced pilots would instruct part-time. "

TC won't allow some of us to instruct.

Some of us are unwilling to kiss their asses and are black balled from the teaching industry.

How can TC do that?

black balled

Transport, like any other arm of the government, pretends that the law doesn't exist when it is inconvenient for them to obey it.

I have a letter from Transport saying that it is "not in the public interest" for my experienced and qualified airshow team to perform at an airshow in Canada - ever.

I am BANNED FOR LIFE from airshows in Canada by Transport.

Is that fair? No. Is it legal? Probably not. Does anyone care? Nope.

A friend of mine, who has the misfortune to work at 4900 Yonge St, told me in confidence that this bizarre "banning for life" was based upon their "considerable anger towards you".

Now that's the kind of professionalism I've come to expect from Transport (none).

Now, those donkeys at Queen's Park are trying to ban FTU's (and I understand freelance instruction) in Ontario.

I think we have just about enough government.

Could ask TC about collecting delinquent accounts....
Seems to be a growth market.

Could you point me the reference in the CARs for this? I can't seem to find it!

Thanks!!

Did I read that right? If they ban FTU's AND freelance, are we supposed to go to another province to get our training?

Cat:

How can TC do that? ".

Because they can Trey Kule, after I was refused a FTU OC I tried to bring in customers from overseas for training on floats and aerobatics etc.

TC refused to approve any training done by me....

I have reams of documentation to prove this did in fact happen.

I have not flown one commercial flight in Canada since that summer, 2003 I believe it was.....to disinterested to pull the documents to check....

You see these coc.suckers " ARE A LAW UNTO THEIR OWN " they can and will do anything they choose, the fact that it is in violation of a Canadian citizens rights mean nothing to these thugs.

Trey, you know that TC reads this stuff here on Avcanada.

If I am making up this stuff how long do you think it would take TC to challenge me, and threaten Avcanada with allowing lible to be spread on their forum?

Remember I post in my true identity.
