Sky Ball Career Expo

Really AA? I mean really? Talk about leaving a bad impression on potential new hires.

I agree. Pathetic. What’s the sky ball by the way?

It was a job fair put on for vets today. A full house of pilots came from all over the country and when we get there they say they aren't taking resumes and attendence isn't tracked and won't help you at all.

Bus to the airport was a bunch of ****ed off guys. Some brought thier wives. Everyone was out at least a few hundred $$.

That sucks. Happy Vet's Day.

Maybe they did you a favor, gave you a peek behind the AA curtain.

Good luck at DAL / UAL / FDX / UPS / SWA.

The feedback I've gotten from my squadron bros has been positive.

Many app questions were answered.

Face time with Tatum, Taylor, Seymour.... face to face with the hiring folks is never a bad thing.... Just don't drop an f bomb.

Sorry your expectations were not met.

Simple app questions can be asked/answered on AA.pilotcredentials. This "not your mamas job fair" was supposed to be different.
