Wink BUYING AN AIRCRAFT FOR HR BUILDING IN THE USA???

After obtaining my cpl-ir in August as I'm sure like a lot of you out there, I am starting to get a bit frustrated with the current climate. What does one do in his quest for those valuable hrs to give yourself some chance of a job. One idea that came to mind was buying an Aircraft in the US, Say a C172 between about 4 other pilots over a period of about 8 months . Get your hrs and get out. With avgas in parts of florida at about $1.90 per us/gal I think you could do quite well. Of coarse insurance would be a huge deciding factor in the feasibility of the idea. Or would one be just waisting his time, will 400hrs get you in the door compared to 250hrs. Any ideas or suggestions would be grateful.
