I did the M&G just before christmas last year. Met with IAH chief.
Sat down with me and my sponsor (my padre). Asked about our family, my experience at the regionals, my future as a guard pilot/UAL pilot together, etc. I wore a suit, I asked questions about the future of UAL. I had fun with it and he put me at ease. He also answered a lot of questions that had to do with hiring process.
UAL pilots (I think) get one sponsor a year.. someone correct me if I am wrong.
Airlineapps rec showed up the same week.
