Apparently interns are now an 'unnecessary security threat' - God forbid they might actually get some valuable firsthand experience or something :rolleyes: |
I had a scheduled repositioning flight (rare, but they occasionally show up on pairings), and got permission to have my Dad ride the jumpseat. This was pre-911, I doubt I could pull it off these days.

Yes. I have my family in the cockpit "while I'm working" before the flight. My kids help with the cockpit checks. You never said "in the air."

That is incorrect.. I am an intern at NWA right now, and belive me, I have tried everything possible to get this jumpseat thing back. In place of jumpseat, they are giving us a guaranteed interview with mesaba

You get a non-rev ticket for every 30 days you work, you can recieve your high alt. endorsment, sim time (when avail. not so much now cause all of the training going on.) The mesaba deal is still in the works. I am coordinating with our HR manager to get the details. There might be lower mins, maybe not. Might interview now and get job contingent upon graduation, or maybe interview after grad. Nothing is for sure yet except that it will happen, just no details at this time. |
