I did an internship with CAL in 1999. Worked in the CPO at EWR. It was the only position available at EWR. The rest of the interns went to Houston to work in various offices (most of which were downtown at HQ). The stipulation for getting EWR was that you had to live near by (on your own dime). Luckily I grew up 20 min from the airport, so I was able to crash with the parents. We didn't get paid, but did get college credits, some ground school and 20 hours in a B727 simulator at IAH. We also got a tour of the Boeing plant in WA, a tour of Houston center, IAH tower, had unlimited jumpseat privileges and got 6 buddy passes to use after the internship was over. Overall, not a bad deal. Worked my arse off, had tons of fun and met a lot of good people. I did keep in touch with the CPO there for quite a while thinking I was going to apply to CAL in '07, but wound up landing a fulltime ANG gig and he retired in the '08-'09 timeframe. I'll be submitting an app to UAL within the next 4-5 months, so we'll see if it helps any.
