What he said. I'd think airport advisory boards, recurrents at lunch, medical/cpr training when the local operators are hosting a training day, the nbaa convention (some of the parties are pretty good), nbaa regional forums, etc are better than sitting around fbo crew rooms. Most of the local operators don't spend a lot of time at the local fbo....when they're flying they are at a far away fbo and when they're off----well, they're probably not hanging around the local fbo.
QUOTE=BoilerUP;1487181]I personally find networking for networking's sake to be hollow and extremely transparent.
I have found an exchange of information, common background, or common interests seem to provide stronger friendships and professional contacts and doesn't give both parties the feeling like the professional relationship exists solely in a transactional way to further the job prospects of one or both parties.[/QUOTE]
