Ignorant
Hey call me ignorant but I wasn't even aware there was a debate about safety pilot minimums . I got my job at ASA with less than 50Multi, but had to make up to 50 by my class date, so they are actually strict with that although it is low by most peoples standards, and like 15 of those hours were safety pilot hours. I thought that was normal to use that, otherwise getting multi time is impossible and extremely expensive. I was trying to get the 15 PIC for MEI but ended up getting the job before I even had that, so even just buying time to get the PIC for the checkride is impossible unless you can split it with someone. So I don't think there's any problem with it, no one said anything about it to me.

Dingo clearly points out you are wrong about CA's not moving on to better things, and u come back with jetblue and Airtran aren't hard to get on with. Last time i checked, while those 2 might not be the greatest places on earth, i would take either of those over making a lateral move to XJet any day of the week.

Skywest used to not accept it as a sole source to meet their mins. This was mentioned by someone who did interviews at Skywest, as well as was a checkairman there, who has since gone on to Alaska.
Just cause the time is legal doesn't mean it commands respect in an interview. Those are two different things.
Personal opinion, a little cross-country-loophole-shared-multi isn't a problem. If you have a 100 hours of that, and the mins are 100 hours multi, you might get called out on it.
A multi CFI and some time instructing, I would think, looks much better than safety pilot time.
