What would be my chaces to get a on the spot interview? Does it just depend on the recruiter I get to talk to at the event?? Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated!
Not to burst your AA bubble but they to see TPIC, any amount would do, anything > 0 tpic. This goes back to even a couple years ago since they had new hires upgrading within 2/3 years on property. The days of poaching from SW are over...for now...if there ever was such a time. The 737 type helps, but not as much as the pic time. Recruiters will tell you the same. Go to ngpa to get exposure and a face to the name, but don't expect more than that. They'll tell you to get tpic time and update your app. At least that's how it is now, could easily change in 6 months.
