Building multi engine time, need advice!

1. Instructing in a twin consists almost entirely of running emergency after emergency. 100 hrs. dual given will have seen 60 hrs. worth of emergency flows and many more hrs. of talking about them on the ground. Multi time is valuable to employers because of the more complex decision making and checklist usage. I think buying the time can be just as valuable if treated the right way both in the airplane and the interview. However, most bought time is spent running for $500 hamburgers...or at least it's perceived that way. By the way, you don't need a lot of 'stick time' to be a great pilot. Knowledge is half the battle.

2. Most interviewers built their time instructing and see it as 'paying your dues.'
