Internship Interview

Dear All,

I applied for an internship opportunity http://www.digital-reality.co.uk/acf/ (brief outline below)

"Angel City Flyers Ltd in conjunction with Enstone Flying Club, Oxfordshire is offering a unique approach to professional flight training. We will bring two candidates from zero hours to 1500 hours total time with JAR ATPL(f), FAA CPL/Multi IR with flight instructor, instrument flight instructor and multi engine instructor ratings. "

“The course begins with the candidates completing a JAR PPL in Enstone Oxfordshire. This provides the intern with first hand knowledge of the flying environment to which they will return and their future students will operate in.
This is followed by a move to southern California where they attain their US instrument, commercial and instructor ratings. From this point, they begin a paid internship with Angel City Flyers Inc. Los Angeles. As the program progresses, the intern will specialize in IFR and multi-engine instruction while beginning the conversion to JAR commercial licences.
On completion of their FAA ATP, the interns return to the UK to take the ATPL theoretical knowledge exams and convert their FAA ATP to a JAR (f)ATPL.”"


I have been selected for an interview, which will take place shortly, any ideas on what they might ask or any questions I should definatly ask.
In addition all though they are interviewing me do you think it would come across as arrogant if I question them as it involves payment virtually upfront? - £29K split over 3 payments but all paid up after the ppl before going to USA

I think this is a good opportunity but at this stage would it be a good idea if I start waffling on about escrow accounts, contract terms (i.e fixed fuel cost due to rising fuel prices), extra training rates, etc.

I am rather excited about this but would value your opinions as always.
