Good point, ForeverFO. I think it's amazing how many pilots in my situation (about to finish the 4 year aviation university) are saying, "I would give anything to fly X!" or " I would fly Y for free!" Because of this, employers are able to pay **** salaries and we put up with them. I think it's that type of mindset that ultimately hurts pilots.
That being said, I do believe this is a paid internship, and the benefits in contacts and relationships highly outweigh the lackey boy type work.
