Suddenly it changes
I sat up straight; jerked into attention by what these geltleman in matching polos had just said. A guaranteed FO positon upon graduation with no minimum flight time!! These two men from an air cargo carrier are telling our class of an internship opportunity and its benifits, however the application process had been closed until next year. On the surface it sounded like an excellent opportunity so I ignored the closed application process comment and that afternoon I emailed the Director of Training my resume.
A day later after an interview that morning and a sim ride in the afternoon, I was frantically researching the company, wondering what I had got myself into. Staring into my cheerios the next morning the cell phone rang and a minute later I had an internship offer.
WOW! The next couple days involved careful analysis of the pros and cons; or did I flip a coin. I couldn’t tell. The company appeared to be stable, safe, and growing so…. alright let’s do it.
I start in two weeks.
