Here is my story:
I am a Junior at Purdue University (Professional Flight program) and very interested in corporate aviation. Purdue no longer offers any courses pertaining to corporate flight operations, and I figured I would turn to the forums for some advice and guidance.
First of all, I have been looking for internships within corporate flight departments and have found they are much less visible than those with an airline. Is this because they are usually awarded to candidates with connections inside the flight department, or because they are so few and far between (or maybe some combination thereof)? If anyone knows of upcoming opportunities, any information would be greatly appreciated.
Secondly, I plan on graduating in May 2009 with about 500 TT, 25 multi. Although I plan on instructing after graduation, I was wondering if there are any jobs out there for someone in my position.
Oh, and speaking of connections, if anyone is ever in the area, shoot me a message for a steak dinner at the best restaurant in town.
Actually, maybe China Buffet is more in my price range right now.
Thanks for any help.
