It's not anything "lesser/different" for sure. We are all in the same boat as long as you got to talk to an AA Captain. AA (and all others) like to schedule it out far in advance so that they know how many Captains/Recruiters to have present those days to balance out the ratio of candidates to Captains...giving all candidates at least 15 minutes face time.

I already had my invitation-only meet-and-greet on the 4th. On that day I remember a lot of candidates were inquiring me, and others in line, on how they could get in line for an impromptu meet-and-greet. I myself, hung around on the 5th as well and saw that the AA booth was quite occupied and was wondering myself if any on-the-spots did get accomodated that day. So I am glad to learn that you did get that opportunity. Hopefully, others reading this will also not just give up without trying. Let us know if you do hear something back and I will do the same!
