So no job offers but it was definitely a learning experience and I was surprised that I recognized people. The aviation world really is a small place. I talked to all the recruiters, even the guys at compass. I knew I didn't have a chance with them but it was just nice to chat with another fellow pilot. They seemed lonely, lol. Seems like Xjt and gojet were hard on their mins. They explained to me that the hr59 bill is going to play huge roll in if their mins will drop or not. Skywest recruiters were a blast to talk to but again having less than 100 multi shot me in the foot. Well if anything I'm much more motivated to get more multi. It seems the regional industry is firing back up again with hiring for those that meet mins.
