I look forward to any advice or insight you guys have to share.
I can tell from you responses you are pretty set on doing this.
You have received great advice from Cub and others. This is NOT a wise idea. It is a waste of money. No I would not do it.
your skill set would be so limited as to be mind numbing. PIC of a 152 with another safety pilot on board? Where would you ever learn the real ability to perform when it counted? All the check rides, weather, operational pressures, and different types of aircraft build up a base that you bring to the cockpit. Your base would be very very narrow. Can you imagine two of you in a cockpit of a airliner when things go wrong?
Go out get your CFI and CFII, get a tailwheel endorsement, fly some aerobatics. Look for a VFR 135 job as soon as possible.
Learn you craft. lives depend on it.
