edik, check your pm's.

Kansas,

Are you in ICT? I am, that is why I ask.

TG

Nope, hangin' out in Cheyenne, training for Great Lakes. Just finished my systems test, and provided I get past the rest of this training craziness, Denver based in September on the luxurious 1900!

That's a GREAT question, and I'd LOVE to know the answer lol! What would you current airline pilots suggest doing? And CWU1919, how do you acquire an internship at ASA or QXE via CWU?

I wrote about the whole AS and QX internship earlier but it got delected. bummer. The AS internship is great fun. It should get you a foot in the door with QX but it also depends on how much they are hiring. I would probably recommend the AS internship because that keeps other options open for you. If you do it with QX and them they are not hiring and you then interview with SkyWest that might open some eyes. With the internship you can meet great people and get sim time. Try the ILS CAT III approach with the HUD. Awsome.
CWU has internships with a primarily but I have heard of people also doing them with SkyWest or Kenmore. Pick any airline that has internships avialible and CWU can try to work it out. The raytheon one sounds like a winner. You can't beat time in a 1900. That is golden. Good luck on the choice but be sure to do one, esspecially in the summer.

I'm really sorry that I am always the one asking the stupid questions, but I really want to try and get as much knowledge as I can.
So, first of all: What is CWU?
Secend: How do I get an internship at any airline and how does it look like when there? Here in Germany we just do a short one (only two weeks!:eek: ) during school. Do I get to fly in an internship? Even at a major? Do legacies accept interns?

Thank you all so much for helping me out so often! I learnd a huge load here and it's not stopping!:D :p Thanks again...

The AS internship will do nothing for you at QX. They could give a rip. Heck I did the QX internship many years ago and I felt it did nothing for me during the interview at QX, other than seeing familiar faces when I was in the OPS building. No internship would ever "open some eyes" at another airline. I think the HR and Chief Pilots offices are a little smarter than that. I would hope they would know that as a college student you take whatever opportunities are given to you. Don't overanylize this stuff too much guys. When it comes down to it, you will get hired based on who you are (personality) and what you know. Everything else is secondary.

Good God I sure hope not!!!:eek: Can you imagine letting interns go spin the pattern in a 737!? They break the sims enough as it is! But seriously, you may get some sim time and some travel benefits but that would be the extent of your "flying" oppurtunities. What you will do is a lot of paper pushing and "intern" work.;)

OK. Thanks. But how do you get to an internship? Do I just have to send in an application, or do I really have to know someone or things like that? And when do I usually do an internship? Do I go to a college, suppose UND or another "pilot-factory" and they help me once I have some of my ratings? Which ratings do I need? Thanks in advance

at my old college internships were normally posted in the aviation department on the bulliten board, as you went by, you could see what different companies were offering and whether or not you'd meet the requirements to apply. Then, send in a letter (explaining why you want the internship) and any other required paper work, and they'd get back to you.

not sure where you can find them online, try to find one that's paid though. It'll make life easier.
