It's an incredibly powerful thing to click the box that says "I worked here previously..." My buddy co-oped at Delta and was one of the first hired in 07. He got me in a year later and the funny thing is I graduated college and went to the airlines while he was still on his instrument. IT PAYS TO INTERN/CO-OP.
-Exactly, forgot.
OP:
As a former intern at a major that will remain anonymous, the contacts you will make will be invaluable. I didn't even intern in the Chief Pilot/Flight Operations/Safety roles that the majority of prospective pilots gravitate towards. Even if you end up doing something else in management you will have opportunities to network with the flight ops management. Do a good job and you will have internal recommendations, and like forgot to bid stated, to check that all-important 'worked here' box.
Good luck!
