What kinds of part time jobs are available for pilots besides CFI/II?
Is charter and or ferrying something one can do part time?

Also, I know you don't get paid to join the CAP, but do you have to
pay to fly with them once you join?

TIA,
Curt

Don't you know what CAP stands for ? Come And Pay.

Seriously though folks, yes assuming you have the patience to get qualified
to be a mission pilot, you can fly funded missions and exercises for which
CAP pays for the aircraft operation. If you fly the airplane for
proficiency, then you have to rent the plane, but the rate is usually below
market. Other stuff like uniform, annual dues, monthly squadron dues, food
& overnight while out on a mission is out of pocket for you. If you live in
a state where CAP is responsible for fire patrol during the summer it can be
some good flight time. Plus you're helping people with your flying which of
itself is a noble cause. Where else can you be a civilian and strut around
in a flight suit ?
