True story:
I had a layover in the Chicago Westin years ago. There were two groups in the ballrooms. One was a pilot meet and greet. The other was ComicCon Chicago.
I had to ask my F/A which group looked weirder, the pilots in their "interview" suits or the kids in their costumes. We were in agreement...the pilots.

Here is some interesting demographic info about out last 5 classes. There were 69 new hires, about 12 per class. They came from a fairly wide variety of regional, military and misc sources. The regional that we hired the most from in this last wave was, ExpressJet (11) follow closely by Horizon (9).
After those two it was spread out between 29 others. Of the 69 new hires, 12 were women. I didn't try to count minorities but there were very few.
The other regionals we hired from were:
Air Wisconsin 5
Skywest 3
AK Ang 3
Envoy 3
The rest were 2 or 1 and they were:
Commuter Air
Clay Lacy
Go Jet
Ravn
USAF
USN
USCG
Great Lakes
OR ANG
NetJets
Southern Air
Lyden Air
Fraizer
CWU
Shuttle America
Northern Air Cargo
Compass
Pathfinder
FAA
Island Air
Sun Country
Redding Air
Mesa

So much for that.
So much for that.
By the way, was this 30% handshake deal regarding interviews or actual hires?

CWU faculty? That's an odd one.
