I tried to delete that post before anyone saw it after reminding myself that if you can’t say anything nice it is better not to say anything at all. I had not read the immediately preceding posts. Frankly the entire discussion reminds me of the tedium of navigating the Uniform Commercial Code in law school.

Don't knock it. When I did UCC in law school, our prof used a non-UCC text book and we had to re-decide the cases under the Code. (Not to mention the one final exam covering the full year course!)

Good times!  Now that I think about it, between articles 2, 3, 4, and 9 I have 15 credit hours studying that book. And I haven’t picked it up again in the 30 years since.    

We clearly practiced in different worlds.  My practice focus varied through the years, but  much of it used the UCC.

Yes.  You obviously enjoy and are very good at it.  

Very good? Maybe. Depends whom you ask.

Enjoy? Never as much fun, nor as many good stories as criminal defense, although I have to admit those jury trials representing smaller banks during the recession definitely had its moments.

Haha thanks for all the info gents, too busy racking up hours to finish these ATP mins. I basically gathered that my original post was stupid and that trying to mitigate costs while helping someone else in the same boat as me is very (not/maybe/we will see/possibly) allowed.

I don't think "allowed" is the issue. If one is under the hood and the other the safety pilot, they can both permissibly build total flight time. A collateral question is what kind of flight time aside from the total. The pilot flying can always log PIC flight time (so long as rated in category and class). The safety pilot needs to be acting as the pilot in command to build pilot in command time; otherwise it can be logged as second in command,. And the safety pilot can't log cross country time at all. (Worse, if you switch off who's flying mid-leg, neither can log cross country for that leg).

If that type of time building is important to both, then I guess both might be willing to share the cost. I think your problem is asking in the wrong place.  The number of people in a forum like this who are "time builders" to whom it would be worth it and also close enough to you to make it feasible is really limited.  Based on the responses, sounds like zero.
