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 is risk and time to time basis. However I would hate to spend $8000 plus dollars to meet the requirement when my chances are slim to none with other applicants all 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!

Pretty sure TSA would take ya as-is.
