When I went it was just chicks drinking beers, telling "there I was" stories and passing along leads to the rare and few flying gigs.......like hauling checks in MU-2's. (remember those days?) The airlines sent some folks to hand out swag, but hiring was so far out on the horizon that it was still casual and fun then. I wonder if it has the same vibe now? Don't really feel like spending $ and time to find out. Perhaps some day.
Now you kids get the hell off my lawn :roll eyes:

Yeah, it’s not like WAI didn’t happily create that environment themselves or anything... Fortunately the days of having to attend these things is over, unless you actually believe in supporting the organization (which is how it should be).
