Question To intern, or not to intern?

Hey Guys/Gals,

Just a quick question I would like to throw out to y'all. I was offered an internship with Piedmont from one of the "top dog" guys in the training department. (I think he is second from the top...) Should I take it or not? The deal is, is I would have to live away from home (no big deal) down in CLT for about 6 months, not paid, (I would Instruct on the side to get by) I would get free SIM time whenever I want, I would get to know tons of pilots/big wigs, etc. and then at the end of the road, I was told that I have an interview and almost a guaranteed hire. What do y'all think? I need some advice. My father has been in aviation since the beginning of time, and used to fly for Reading/Suburban Airlines (which was then changed to Allegheny...which is now Piedmont) and I would prefer to have a non-byes opinion on the matter. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
