Seniority order, oldest to youngest.
Most junior line holders for January:
ANC 12/16
LAX 11/16
PDX 2/16
SEA 2/17
Keep in mind these are the lowest regular lines, 12 days off and working weekends. More senior people bid open flying lines or reserve for better schedules.
PDX is VERY senior, been hearing its about 1.5-2 years to get.
Starting in mid January, indoc will be mixed AS and VX. Aircraft type and bases will be chosen in senority order. I've talked to a few guys who said they interviewed for Alaska a few months back but were told that if they get a class in January they could be assigned the airbus in JFK.

Also, this sentiment is not going to be a popular one within any pilot group. Most of us spent time and money to attend multiple job fairs over a few years before getting the call to interview.
Of course you would rather skip this step and go straight to the actual interview; no one likes running the job fair circuit.
Your current attitude will be toxic in any interview setting.

Think of it as replacing day one from the old interview process.

You sound like your an advocate of the current interview process and job fairs.

If I attended multiple job fairs, then why should I go to a meet and greet as well? What will that accomplish?

Or, I could tell you that its possible that you'll meet the key person who places your app at the top of the stack for an actual interview.
Sounds like you're frustrated. I get it. But suck it up (with a smile) and press on.

As for free or very low cost company specific job fairs; I do support. It’s a good way to single out interview candidates from a stack of paper.
