agree with above, you can intern at a regional and it may get you a JOB, intern at a major and it may get you a CAREER... this summer I am doing an NWA internship, actually done next friday. I was on the 757 fleet. Various tasks assigned to the aircraft/crews, attended indoc, groundschool, flew the sims, made some videos for the FAA and IP's, made some great contacts and a guaranteed interview with mesaba, have mine in april! Overall it has been a great experience, got my high alt. endorsement there as well. The only downside is they got rid of the jumpseat privliges which is a bummer, but replaced it with the guaranteed interview; so it is too bad. M-F, usually around 9am-2,3,4pm or kind of when I feel like showing up and going home. It is unpaid so they understand. You do get a non-rev for every 30 days you work. Any more questions PM me.
Sorry for spelling, it is late and I am too tired to re-read, lol
