I'm debating spending the money to fly to LAX next weekend to attend the AIRINC job fair just to meet with the Cathay flight crew recruitment personnel, Kelly Crawford and Paula Rousseaw. Is this a worthwhile investment of time and money?

Additionally, I understand that you must tell them the company line that you would love to work in HK but the fact of the matter is I would want to fly out of JFK. What would my chance be of getting JFK as a base? If it was a likelihood, would I be able to spend my entire career there? Thanks in advance...
