come on man, look at the economy and how many pilots are still out of work. You are just another example of the gimme gimme gimme generation.
You don't want to pay the $129, I get that that I do not either, but you must realize nothing is guaranteed or owed to you. YOU HAVE TO EARN IT!
I paid for to get the FE written and had to pay $75 just to apply to FedEx. I am out almost $350, I do not expect a call from FedEx anytime soon and now they do not have the the above requirements, just what you have to do sometimes to play the game.
good luck!
FYI, I am not about "give me give me give me" or what other generation you are speaking about. I have my views and you have yours. However, I don't mind paying a fee for a job fair. But is a job fair worth paying $90-$129? Some companies decided at the last min not to attend and if I wanted to attend to specifically to meet a recruiter from that particular airline I am now screwed.
If you choose to spend $350 for a job, thats your business. I can care less. I hope you got hired......LOL. I have earned every dime I have in my bank account and every achievement I have sought out for. So go preach to someone else about earning things in life buddy. But never the less, my views are still the same when it comes to this topic about the jobs fairs. Are they worth the amount of money that is being charged for admission. Knowing the beginning salary of a regional airline pilot. My 2 cents
