What side gig do you have at the company you work for?

You must be talking about a REAL LearJet...The 45 was Bombardiers first elaboration of the Lear. New wing, beefier gear and a simplification of systems. Damn simple thing to operate. That freaking wing is wonderful, I've never even seen the red tape come up from the bottom of the airspeed indicator cruising around in the high 40's. (not even at 500 that one time...)
I'm 6'2", getting in and out is a skill set, but once in I fit great. I even have a little room to spare on the seat track. I'd like a little more real estate to stick stuff, but it keeps me light on my feet! :-)
 
Just got hired into corporate flying...plane doesn't fly too much, so I'm maintaining my IT Admin job as well. 2 salaries ftw.
 
I know of a company that used to fly a Lear and a GIII, which owner required their pilots to do odd jobs. The craziest I heard was lawn care at the owner's estate and tending bar on a train car during a company Holiday party.

I thought decorating these puppies was your side job:

Was that out of HEF? I think I heard about that one too. Corporate can certainly be wacky.

If you are a pilot in this day and age, but you need a side job.. you are doing it wrong.

The job that I had paid very well, especially for flying a 421, but the flying wasn't enough to be a full time job in itself. The reason why I left the job was I turned into a project manager and estimator that got to fly every once in a while. Great company, great people that treated me and compensated me exceptionally well. I wanted to fly more so I decided to take a shot at 121 flying with about a 2/3s pay cut. I am now working through regional initial training.

A professional should have respect for the idea that it is his job to do what the boss tells him to do, whether that’s flying, estimating, giving tours, or sweeping the floor.

I tried to get my doctor to clean my garage once a month. He said no, but to date I've yet to find a doctor willing. Just no professional doctors left.

I had a pilot once ask me to change the oil in his car while he was out on a trip. I'll let you guess how well that worked out for him.
