Hawker/Beechcraft Pilot Internship

I recently saw on Hawker/Beechcraft's website that they had a "Post-Graduate" Pilot internship. It said that you'll fly PIC in all piston aircraft and have a chance at SIC in all the jets. It has since been removed and I haven't been able to find it anywhere else. Anybody on here know what this position is all about? For those that may have done it or know about it, what sort of minimum time are they looking for and how much flying do you actually get to do?

Did a google search and here's what I got. Says on the site that it was updated/added on August 4th...But like you said it wasn't on the company website.

Groovinaviator, how long was the internship and how much time did you end up logging? Was it paid?

Hopefully this position comes back.

It was paid. I believe it was $12 an hour based on a 40 hour work week. It lasted 6 months and I flew around 350 hours in production test, but if i'm not mistaken the demo interns flew much less.
