Just kicked off yesterday. There will be recruiter desks set up in the exhibit hangars. Curious to hear what kind of feedback they give for fresh 1500 hour candidates these days.
Can't get to SNF this year sadly. As the two commenters above have said the problem is that when majors go to hire they dont want to eat their own feeds and since Skywest and Republic both work for multiple airlines that means you have less of a chance of getting hired from there to a major.
