Interns don't fly the airplanes. They might let an intern fly a simulator.

You can imagine my great relief when I found that they were actually playing a piano in a house of ill repute. My family rejoiced at this narrow escape from shame and humiliation.
Oh man, that's funny. My stomach hurts...thanks.

You should direct him to this thread and ask him why all that money you invested has left him such a pathetic liar.

I suspected you might have discovered exactly what you did. I think Jungle has offered the best advice! Let us have a go at him... Are you ready JB?

This indicates that he has made very little or no progress towards becoming a commercial pilot.

A student pilot would not be granted an airline flight operations internship, he would most likely need a commercial pilot certificate first.

An internship would not show up on the FAA's database regardless.

I would certainly demand a better quality of lies for all that money, a good education should yield a more polished set of lies.

Flight Ops internships are arranged through university programs.
