[BrickTop]

Anyone have information/locations on upcoming job fairs for MAJOR carriers?

Mostly commuters & reg's but usair, spirit, etc are sprinkled in

The only real great fairs in these slim days are women in aviation and OBAP

WAI is next week in Nashville (I think), and OBAP has an April fair and a large one as part of their conference in July-aug- Miami I think this year-

Google to verify

Mass hiring is a year out or so, but keep your ear to the ground- some will be starting early and you want to be in the beginning of the wave

Respect FI- we can argue guns and seniority lists, but this site was started in career help- if you hear about your airline hiring- post it

Am I correct to assume there are a fair amount of men that attend the WAI conference?

I am thinking about going next week one day to visit a couple airlines. At other job fairs that I've been to in the past I've stood in line 3+ hours to meet with recruiters of certain airlines. Is this typically the case with WAI or not so much since it's over a three day period?

I'd go if I were you, but I honestly have never went. Equal opportunity is just that- in my opinion if you're there supporting diversity among the sexes and go to the fair- they'll be glad to have you- if they aren't they're hypocrites

Lots of men go to the WIA conference and lots of white folks go to the OBAP conference as well.

US Air is hiring. Atlas is hiring. United is accepting applications. Delta is accepting applications. JetBlue is hiring. FedEx is hiring. Virgin America is hiring. Alaska is hiring. Hawaiian is hiring. Spirit is hiring.

I'd say the time to get your face in front of a recruiter is NOW.

Sounds like AA will possibly be hiring later this year.

If I am only able to go on Saturday, will i be able to talk to everyone i want to talk too? That would be Delta, American, USairway, United. Also, is this a full blown job fair where they accept resumes or is it just a meet and greet.
Thanks

Jetblue isn't a Major. It's a major Regional... big difference.

That $99 could easily make a million dollar difference down the road.
