Default Time building for Skywest advice needed!

Hi,

I have 3000+ hours in single engine Cessna/piper mostly instructing. However I only have 12 hours of Multi time in Seminole. Airline such as Skywest requires min of 100 ME time.

1. Is purchasing multi time and splitting with a safety pilot looked down upon by company like Skywest?

2. If I do buy needed 88 hours of ME time to meet 100 Total ME time, I would have 3000 hours with 100 multi. How competitive would this experience be with other applicants to Skywest these days? I know everything in a risk and time to time basis. However I would hate to spend $8000 plus dollars to meet the requirement knowing that my chances are slim to none if all other applicants are exceeding minimums by far.

3. Am I just better off going to a company like Ameriflight for a year and then apply for Skywest?

Thank you very much!
