Thanks for the reply. I see the hand writing on the wall. The rationale of getting the MEI is in part to built time towards the 25 hour requirement. The ATP requirements don't specify PIC for the ME, just mentions flight time. I thought I was finished with a big purchase of airplane time but it looks like I will be buying another $10K + of Piper twin time. Luckily me.
