Anyway, I don't think they'll frown on the purchased multi-time. My dad has talked to a few guys at SKW, comair, PSA and Pinnacle who actually went out an bought a twin engine (partner share of course) and built time that way. When they finished building up a lot of time, they either sold the plane together or sold their share of the A/C. This has actually been a pretty cost effective way of building ME time. I'm thinking about doing this when I return to SC.

FWIW, I bought a little bit of multi time in the fall (before they even signed the TA/started hiring again). It wasn't very much, and it was just to take a trip down the East Coast... but it didn't even come up in the interview. However, it wasn't one of the Ari-Ben type deals where you buy 100 hours and fly around Florida for a few weeks, either.

If we keep seeing vacancies every two weeks, I am thinking you would be able to transfer to MEM before you are done with training. MEM is the junior base...just that it became overstaffed with the furlough recalls and the new hire class that started yesterday. Things are starting to disperse now, so I would assume MEM will have openings on each vacancy going forward.

The April 23rd class was awarded MEM on 07-03. They were not eligible to preference bid a different domicile on 07-04. (If they were, it would show their names not "New Hire." The award is for the May 7 class and is DTW.
I will clarify with F.S. if we are still in disagreement.
