What ever money you were planning on spending on multi-time you could use to get an MEI. Then, if your current school does'nt have any multi trainers then find one that does. At this stage of your flying, you shouldn't have to pay for time. Be patient, get your MEI and get the 135 mins. Remember, in our industry, it is often who you know, not what you know. Take time to visit 135 operators in you area, meet their pilots, and just be friendly. I know many pilots that got their start by being in the right place at the right time and knowing someone inside and being known as a "good guy" (or gal)
