There are several outfits in the U.S. who offer "internships" to foreign students, who then operate as first officers on FAA 135 flights, and pay for the privilege..it's all legally set up, but disgusting at best...then the co-pilots go home, the lucky ones get jobs at their "hometown airlines", then turn around and clamor for job protection....how strange... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />
