Piedmont Airlines

Aviation Safety Programs Intern

January - July 2020 • Salisbury, MD

What I liked

The experience wasn’t a stereotypical intern experience. I was hands on with the aircraft and data throughout my internship. The work environment was friendly and they even extended my internship through COVID.

What I wish was different

External forces like COVID. The internship itself was amazing.

Advice

Stay on top of your tasks. The intern position at Piedmont is really important to the safety department so make sure you manage your time and meet deadlines. Also, utilize your flight benefits as much as possible.

Aviation Safety Intern

August 2019 • Salisbury, MD

What I liked

I really loved the culture at Piedmont in that the employees were so nice and helpful and showed a strong desire to work as a team. Also there were many opportunities for me to explore the different channels of aviation safety as opposed to working on a single project for the bulk of the internship.

What I wish was different

I wasn't particularly a fan of the weather being from down South and used to a lot of heat, but it was nice to experience snow for the first December ever. Also, I wish I had been able to use flight benefits more often and do some exploring, but for personal reasons I wasn't able to enjoy that perk as much as I'd have liked.

Advice

Be prepared to learn about yourself in this small period of time. Outside of work, since Salisbury is a pretty rural area you'll have a lot of down time to reflect and enjoy time for yourself. There's entertainment everywhere if you look for it so there are things to do but its not a busy inner-city town where there's always action. You can sit back and enjoy peace and nature in Salisbury.
