This time is split and i'm still unsure if most airlines will accept safety pilot time. I'm leaning towards they won't. I also know a delta captain who will let me fly his apache for $75 hour dry so around $130 an hour so it would be a little more expensive but I get to do all of the flying and don't have to worry about the safety pilot issue. Has anyone done the 3 week split safety pilot method and did they have any problems with the interview or airlines. I don't want to spend 10k on 50hrs pic and 50hrs safety pilot if it doesnt get me to meet the min.
FYI my flight time is 400TT and 17 ME at the time. Thanks
