Syd gets it. I thought we were in the job of hiring the most qualified applicants. I am well aware that there are many pilots who want to fly at United but I think we are shorting ourselves If we give a boost in application status for the job fair/meet and greet crowd.
What if everyone went to the job fairs, then what?
plenty of qualified people applying....lets say you have three people with equal qualifications and you offer them a non required meeting to have coffee and talk about the job. Two people show up, one is very casual and comes across as cavalier and a little flippant, the other shows up decently dressed and has a great attitude. Who would you hire out of the three?
