I know of that internship.. It is a great opportunity. In the past, they have offered people the opportunity to stay there and fly for them. You DO get a check-ride and ARE typed in the aircraft. Plus, you get to sit right seat in the Citation (good experience, can't log the time though). Interviewers will love that you have lots of time in a King Air. I'd say go for the internship. Minimums for regionals are falling and you will have a good shot with your hours.

I just got finished with the very internship you are talking about.
Yes you get trained and signed off as a 135 SIC. No you are not typed in the King Air but you can log every minute of it under multi-trubine-SIC. Their opperation does require there be an SIC in the plane so it is legit even though the plane can legally be flown single pilot. You also do not sit right seat in a citation. They do not own a citation.
SO far there have been 5 interns that have gone through it. 4 are at regionals 1 is in a pool.
I walked in with about 275 TT and walked out with 650 TT. If my math is correct thats about 375 turbine SIC. It helped me get 3 interviews and an airline job. Like some have said Skywest as well as some others will not budge on their time though.
It is a great experience and you learn a ton about flying away from UND. even though they just got 3 new interns, call the guys in Fargo soon.

This is a rare sweet deal... go for it, you can instruct later to get your total time up to wherever you want, but a few hundred hours of ME/Turbine is golden (and hard to come by).

Also it says that there is an opportunity to work for the Jet Center (or somwhere on the airport) while flying. How did that work out?
Thanks for your input!

A lot of companies are using resume scanners for the online applications. If it doesn't meet the minimums they will never see it. Try to get in front of a recuiter, i.e. Air Inc style job fair, I am sure you will get many bites. Good Luck.

we lived about 2 blocks from NDSU. it was about a 5 minute drive to the airport. we lived in a house there. one of the captains commuted when he was on call so he rented it and we just payed him rent money. However, I dont think he is doing that this time around. The new interns all wanted to live on their own so he gave it up.
You do have to live close to the airport too, because you have to be wheels up like 30 minutes after call out. The guys at jet center would have a better idea of the current situation.
You can work for Jet Center too. It would be doing line service type stuff but you generally get the jobs no one else wants to do. It doesnt pay well but its only like 15 hours a week generally. so you get a little beer money.
