"safety pilot time"?!?!

[NW_Pilot]

If you undertake to spend a lot of money to "build time" and inflate your logbook, certainly this doesn't paint you in a good light, and doesn't really build your character as a pilot, either. It's been said oh-so-many times, but build experience, not hours.

Hours you can write in your logbook, because that's all they're worth. Sit down with me and I don't care how many hours you claim, as I'll know all I need to know about your experience by talking with you for a short time. Getting into the airplane only confirms what I've already learned about you. A good interviewer does the same thing, and no matter what your paperwork says to inflate your image, you're never more than the sum of your experiences.

What's it to be? Hours or experience?

I Agree I go for the experience? Thats why I do what I do!
