So I am looking to get my ME rating. Unfortunately the school I am teaching at does not have a multi engine airplane available so I dont know if there is a benefit to get my MEI. A friend has a Multi-Engine plane and would like me to be a safety pilot for him (once I have the Multi rating). I can build up some pretty decent time flying with him. Two questions-

If the time comes to apply for a job, how will they look at 50 hours multi engine PIC as a safety pilot?

OR

Should I just get my MEI and "instruct" vs. safety pilot those hours?
