Hey call me ignorant but I wasn't even aware there was a debate about safety pilot minimums . I got my job at ASA with less than 50Multi, but had to make up to 50 by my class date, so they are actually strict with that although it is low by most peoples standards, and like 15 of those hours were safety pilot hours. I thought that was normal to use that, otherwise getting multi time is impossible and extremely expensive. I was trying to get the 15 PIC for MEI but ended up getting the job before I even had that, so even just buying time to get the PIC for the checkride is impossible unless you can split it with someone. So I don't think there's any problem with it, no one said anything about it to me.
