I have started to get lessons for my PPL. In the future I want to fly jets. I know I can't buy one private jet for myself. So do you know any place that I can apply for part time job as a Jet Pilot?

the short answer is yes you can part time,
google aviation employment and you will get a list of thousands of pilot jobs.
the long truth is you need to continue after your PPL, and get yout IFR, multi engine, commercial, CFI, CF-II, ATP, not to mention a dozen endorsements and lots of flight time and experience ( multi engine ) before someone will let you near a jet.
It would be cheaper to take all that money and become a doctor or lawyer and you could buy yourself a nice twin, or turbo prop of your own.
Carrer pilots do it because they love it all the time, not part time.
to go from 0 time to an ATP with all the proper qualifications to fly a typical private jet such as a citation, the approximate cost is between $70,000 to $140,000 depending on circumstances. and takes a great deal of time.
There are a lot of pilots that only work part time, and now with several airlines going bankrupt and furloughing senior pilots there is a flood of high time very experienced pilots out of work right now, so finding those jobs is hard for someone who is just starting out.
Best of luck to you.

i have continuously been inspired via the scope of the help amenities operations. gas, ramp amenities, etc. (jet FBO). Ever been interior a jet FBO? Many are extremely plush and provide a huge decision of amenities. You pronounced catering. You element out the fractionals. they help help the airways. They pay finished fares to flow their pilots round on short word. certainly, flying for a fractional should be better of an airline passenger journey (not a stunning good journey) than a pilot journey. And hotels. airplane administration. airplane financing. structure corporation's workers. (Many privately owned jets are on area one hundred thirty 5 certificate.) i do not imagine of it a lot in words of a job count number as an monetary result, a flow-market result.for sure, the blend result's larger than anybody airplane.

Depends on what you call part time. A medevac operation will have you on call but you will only fly when required. Many use Learjets or other small jets, you will need to research the company to see what they fly before you apply. Every situation is different but if you have some good experience with multi-engine, IFR time and are a good candidate they will probably pay for training you to their specific craft.

Part-time or Contract pilots are used extensively in the private jet industry. However, the FAA has recently shunned operators who use a contract pilots that work for multiple operators. There is a tremendous amount of training involved in getting type rated for the particular jet as well as in-doc training to learn the operating procedures of the particular operating company you work for.
Here is a list of all the major private jet operators worldwide: http://www.legfind.com/SiteMap.aspx?SiteMap=Operators
Good luck with the flying!

mnay people underestimate the requirements of such a job. I have been studying this for four years and am still working on my commercial license. you can go to school for a fast track licensing which will cost you at least $100,000 and tehen you only have the basics done (private, instrument, commercial, multiengine). you have to study a ton of regulations and meteorolgy physics, mechanics, etc...then you have to fly crappy pilot jobs making $20/hr for years to build the time usually 3000hrs logged to even be looked at by an airline. then theres more company training medical testing and recurrent training every year. this is a lifelong dedication you have to love it to do it. the hard work is worth the reward if you can make it to airline captain.

If you are 26 or under, have a college degreee and live in Texas you can apply to the Texas Air National Guard. A buddy of mine was the opps commander @ Houston and one of his pilots got in that way. F16's baby! It doesn't get much better.

Sure you can a lot of the smaller part 135/91 operations use corporate pilots on as contract pilots - they have full time jobs and fill on the aircraft when they are needed.

I don't think airlines like part-time pilots because they need to fly a certain amount of hours within a certain time-span to prove their competence. Part-time flyers can't get enough hours in within the time limit, so probably not, sorry.

All airline pilots are part time. but you will soon develope an attitude that you are over worked and underpaid.
