My advice is to definitely apply. I'll be starting as a Flight Intern in January here and I can already tell the experiences I will have will be incredible, both in the Flight Academy and traveling with the flight benefits. If you have your commercial and some volunteer experience on your resume at the time you apply, you'll be very competitive. Try for a GPA north of 3.3, too.
