They've got an internship program thing through UND. Each year they head up to Grand Forks and interview a few of the applicants, and I was lucky enough to be chosen.

Yeah, going to Wichita for the Caravan next week, and Orlando for the Encore, whenever I start flying that. For the internship, when they first started it, they needed another pilot, but not bad enough to hire a new full time. So they started this program with UND. I'll be SIC on all flights (including the caravan, they want two pilots for all pax carrying flights). I also get the privilege of cleaning and stocking the aircraft, hangers, and offices, and of course, paperwork. I'm not complaining though, it's gonna be tons of fun!
