Air Inc- Waist of money?

[Skaff]

Fed Ex, UPS, and Southwest are supposed to be at the next air inc conference. Do they actually hire from these conferences or is it just a waist of money?

 

[poppi]

Yes. They are looking for what they want. If you match their interests you will be called.

 

[poppi]

Let me rephrase that. Yes. I got on with the majors that way. I had a friend who after he was furloughed from USair about 4 years ago must of sent 100 resume and did not get one response. He went to one of these and was offered 5 interviews.

Air Inc has a pretty good service. They helped me out when I needed to find a job. Well worth the money spent and they have a very good grasp on who is hiring in the industry.

It should be 'waste' of money, sorry just had to. I think not, it worked for me. Money well spent (if you can stomach Mr. UAL spew for a few hours). Got the resume to the right people. Good luck.

I went to one in March more or less thinking i was wasting my money. 2 weeks later swa called...i'm there now. I only knew a few junior fo's, didn't have the type and I wasn't an IP, so I think it definately helped out and was probably the reason i got the interview. Good luck to you if you decide to go.

seems to me that there is no substitute for being face to face with people who make the hiring decisions, or at least their gatekeepers.

Are you the keymaster?

The main thing is realizing if you are really meeting what they are looking for. Then it is worth the money. Know whether you are competitive. The hard part is that they show up whether or not they have or are seeking people. The fact they are there is not necessarily indicating that they are hiring. It costs them little so they show up.

Well, I don't know if they are a "waist" of money, but I highly recommend you pay to have your resume' and other paperwork spell-checked before any future interviews.

This is the perfect example of why pilots these days are not considered professionals. This guy can't spell worth a dime (he made this same mistake twice). Dude, did you almost flunk out of high school, skip college, then have daddy pay for your flight academy?

And you wonder why some airlines consider a college degree "highly perferred". Too weed out saps like this!

Please educate yourself.

I agree, bro. It's shameful how bad the spelling and the writing is on this forum.

It should be "to", not "too".

 

[TooLow]

Skaff or whatever,

You are a f**king moron. Learn how to spell, nitwit.

 

[Secret Squirrel]

Wow, the spelling nazis are out tonight.

 

[sclark161]

TooLow, have you sought anger management? Simmer down big guy.

4 Year degree!

Vingus does bring up a good point (even if he is a bit crass in the way he says it). I always argue on here it is extremely important to get a solid degree from a 4 year institution for many reasons...including which is the ability to communicate. I think it now becomes much clearer why all the majors either require or "highly prefer" a 4 year degree. They're looking for a guy that will be with the company 20+ years who can communicate with his passengers as well as sound educated when he speaks about the airline he flies for.

I know, I know...pilotyip is going to come right back and say forget the 4 year degree but his claims are hollow. The 4 year degree is now more important than ever when applying for a major, especially with the thousands of competition out there due to the tight market.

 

[Nindiri]

Vingus does indeed bring up a valid point, but his scolding lecture of Skaff would have probably been more effective if he hadn't misspelled two words himself.
