Default My take on VIB. . .

Here's my take after about four years of sending three Navy/Marine buds, all qualified, to VIB. . one of them even went to two VIB. Out of the three, one received an interview about three weeks after attending. He went through the interview, only to be told that he wasn't current (had been in a staff job the past two years) and would need to get 200 hours in the next year. . .a conditional job offer was given, a phone number of someone given to him and told to call when he had his time. He subsequently went to Frontier, sat reserve there for six months. . .and was then offered a job by both FedEx and UAL. He tried calling the number that was given to him at JB and left voicemails. . . no one ever returned his call. The other two friends were never called for an interview. I won't waste anymore of my friends time. I am sure it is a valuable job fair for some however my experience in recommending people to attend was a ramp strike.
