well you actually get 100 and you can legally log it. Its just that it might not be acceptable or valid for certain companies.

"does anyone know if pinnacle accepts this?"

Have you thought to ask yourself why some airlines don't rather than who does

yes i have, i have connections in Eagle, 4 or 5 people that i can use as references. But eagle won't take safety pilot time. I'll tell you, flying safety pilot halfway across the country gives you exprience, more than eagle will give credit for. I've got the total time that the airlines have minimums for, just not the multi.

connection pilot, apparently from what some people have posted on this forum, eagle is really desperate for pilots. If they are looking to hire 700 or so pilots in 07, maybe they wont really care as much. If anything ull still get the 100 total time and possibly get to the interview, if you can explain how it gave you good experience maybe they will look past that. Ask Careerpilot, hes always posting how many pilots eagle is trying to hire.

Hmm so if i have my MEI then i could technically log the time im sitting in the right seat as Dual given time even though i'm not REALLY instructing, and the time in the left seat just as PIC?? I think logging 50 hours of safetly pilot times seems a bit sketchy.

You can log it as dual given and PIC. Might as well practice being a flight instructor though, especially if you are going to log it that way. The point is to be able to show ability that is comensurate with the time that you have logged. If you have 50 hrs Multi-Instruction (which is a prettg good amount) then you should have plenty of experience talking, acting and performing as an MEI. I would hate for you to go for an interview and have someone ask you to teach Vmc and have you go blank becuase the last time you actually used it was 2 years ago when you got your ticket.

Best tip I can give you is to Study Study Study and Study some more. you're not going to get much out of the ground training.

When I flew at AriBen, I logged it as dual given, because I was actually instructing. Trying to help my flying buddy catch up with the airplane, and showing him little tricks that I have learned over the past couple of years. We also tried to help eachother out and fly like a crew: adjusting throttles, syncing up props, leaning out the mixtures, monitoring the 'systems', making radio calls, keeping track of the charts and what not. That way, the PF could soley concentrate on flying. I had a good time. One little boo boo with some MX, and some WX issues, but other than that, it was a good experience. Mike is a good guy to work along side with.
