TurboCheez -

Stephanie Grantham is a very sincere, genuine lady - I've known her and worked with her in the industry for years. We were both recruiters and regularly attended job fairs together, representing our respective airlines.

Job fairs in the pilot profession are not a waste of money if the company you want to work for is present. Spending a few minutes in person with the recruiter will net you valuable feedback as to your competitive level and most likely suggestions on where to improve competitiveness. The folks who attend the fairs usually include the person in charge of granting interviews, and perhaps that person carries even more weight within their airline... you never know. Stephanie IS the pilot recruiter for AirTran and the very best person to talk to for information and direction.

The money spent for this gal to meet Stephanie is certainly not wasted - as long as she listens to the advice provided. I hope she enjoys herself at this event and networks with every person she encounters.

Hope this helps to settle the nerves.
