Is an Aerobatic Rating a bonus for future employment?

Hey everyone,

I'm doing a tailwheel conversion soon... and the aircraft I am doing it on just so happens to be a Decathlon.

So I was thinking of maybe killing two birds with one stone and getting the aerobatic rating whilst I'm there.

Do GA/ business jet operators like guys with a bit of varied experience especially aerobatics or is it pretty irrelevant? I mean is it worth doing any aerobatics now to increase the chances of future employment just that little bit more?


P.S. I love aerobatics (did some in gliders) and will get the rating one day or another... the only question is whether spending that money on it now is justifiable when I still have the CPL IR ME to complete! I'm just a PPL guy for now.

Thanks!
