Asking for trouble
Looking at the question posed, I just knew someone would chime in with a 'smarty pants' answer. IFMU has not disappointed... nice!
You've got to be a little more circumspect with this crowd or you'll get eaten alive!
For the record, I don't but IFMU is presumably correct. The thing is, I know I've answered your question and yet I also know I've been of absolutely no assistance to you.
Perhaps if you gave us a bit more information someone might be able to help. Good luck in your quest and hopefully the contributions from here on in will be a bit more sensible.

Hey no worries fellas. I like to think I have a pretty thick skin so fire away!
I guess to be more specific with my question and it's purpose well, I'm graduating with my MBA in May and I want to get a job with Bell in Fort Worth Texas. I'm not giving up until I get a job even if that means being a janitor!
So I guess I was just trying to get a better idea of what it's like working for them and how it is in TX.
Does that help?

Why Bell in Texas?
JY,
You've got me very curious...
Firstly, congrats on the MBA - I'm sure that'll ensure you'll be a lot better off than 99% of the contributors here!
However, your determination to work for Bell no matter what is countered by a "I'd like to know what it's like to work there" mentality. I'm confused...
Wouldn't you first find out that it's the best place in the world to work and THEN get there come hell or high water? Or is this a new management strategy you've learnt recently (sorry - just being cheeky now!)
Of course it's not really any of my business, just curious. Good luck mate with that janitor's position but I suspect you'll be over qualified.

JaredYng. Good for you that you know what you want to do with your life 
I don´t work for Bell (well they don´t pay me
) but I´m proud to say that I have flown their products several thousand hours and been many times to their facilities in Texas, They´re a friendly bunch and I´m sure good to work for. I like their philosophy and customer support and will forever be a Bell enthusiast.
Best of luck.

Is this the "winning design" you're talking about 
.
It's a winner alright
As far as employement with OEMs, both airframe and power plant folks, there's lot's of opportunities these days for guys that are passionate about this business
Good Luck!

Papa,
I guess I should clarify my inquiry. I'm not necessarily looking to see what it's like to work for Bell but rather what my options are when I'm there.
When I say options I'm referring to working directly with helicopters and perhaps learning to fly.
Does this help or did I just confuse you even more?
Thanks everyone for your help....Sorry about the delay but midterms can be quite the stressful time!
