Job fairs will probably help more than internal recommendations. The main reason is that most of the fairs are staffed with 1 or 2 of the chief pilots.
MD-80 will be here for a few more years. 75's are leaving 1st. As far as I know FL still seems to be junior for new hires but there are several bases opening this fall. AVL, CVG, PIT. Time will tell.
