Internship?
 

hey guys, im a college senior lookin to intern with a major in the spring, but i can't decide which one. my top three are NWA, CAL, and AAL, any suggestions?

take the first one that accepts you. if all three take you, you know that CAL and NWA are hiring this second.

Great opportunity, I know ex-interns who got hired at CAL (at the minimums) and at NWA. I assume AA does the same.

Go for Delta Flight Ops, it's also paid.

Look into flying in the military - I can garauntee you much better than any internship deal any day of the week.

Which one do you want to work for in a few years as a pilot? That's the company that I would choose. If you don't forsee yourself ever working for any of the carriers, then I would find a different internship.

Hey Scrapdog,
I got a TCAS alert today from an F22 taking off from Hill AFB as I was on the visual for 16R into SLC. . . .It was a beautiful sight! Was that you? LOL

What kind of work do you do at a intern position for the airlines? Do you need a certain degree?

Just dont intern at a regjonal. I did and yes it helped me get my current job but I could have gotten that without the intership. If you do an internship make sure its with a Major you want to work for. If i did it all over again i would push for an internship with UPS. 2 cents worth

agree with above, you can intern at a regional and it may get you a JOB, intern at a major and it may get you a CAREER... this summer I am doing an NWA internship, actually done next friday. I was on the 757 fleet. Various tasks assigned to the aircraft/crews, attended indoc, groundschool, flew the sims, made some videos for the FAA and IP's, made some great contacts and a guaranteed interview with mesaba, have mine in april! Overall it has been a great experience, got my high alt. endorsement there as well. The only downside is they got rid of the jumpseat privliges which is a bummer, but replaced it with the guaranteed interview; so it is too bad. M-F, usually around 9am-2,3,4pm or kind of when I feel like showing up and going home. It is unpaid so they understand. You do get a non-rev for every 30 days you work. Any more questions PM me.
Sorry for spelling, it is late and I am too tired to re-read, lol
