That said, I am very against job fairs. There is nothing but anecdotal evidence on both sides of the fence to prove or disprove they have any influence in getting hired: Jonny over here went to a job fair and got hired by airline X, it MUST have been the job fair. Tommy went to 3 job fairs, none of those airlines called but instead got hired by airline Y that wasn't even present. Job fairs are crap.

I went to 3. From my perspective it appeared that the organizer was making money hand over fist. The airlines making billions in profits got a free pre-interview, and the guys with the least money were the ones footing the bill. It just felt wrong to me.
Amen. This career is lottery enough...now you have to be lucky and get into a lottery at OBAP and others just to potentially talk to a recruiter? Nah.
