Default AA Job Fairs

Poking around the interwebs today looking for information on upcoming job fairs that AA will attend. Does anyone know of any job fairs taking place in the remainder of 2018? Any springtime job fairs that AA might attend?

I've checked FAPA and it looks like only regional airline job fairs through the end of the year. I'm unfamiliar with them and looking for any scuttlebutt on AA's job fair "behavior."

Trying to get some face time! Thanks.

Are you civ? If so I would not waste time or effort at this point. Focus on Delta, United, and SWA.

If mil, maybe those guys can chime in but I don't think job fairs are really needed. You'll probably at least get a call provided your resume is competitive.

Yes, 100% civ. Is there still that much preference given to mil folks? I have quite a few internal recs and would love for AA to work out.

All input appreciated, thank you.

Completely disagree. That’s even MORE reason for him to go to a job fair.

Off the street hires are heavily military because AA has a lot of flows. Yet there are still civ folks hired off the street, although not the percentages of other majors. Do everything you possibly can to get your name out there.

Here are the FAPA Aero events that AA will be attending:
Anchorage: Sept. 22, 2018
Atlanta: Oct. 20, 2018
Honolulu: Nov. 10, 2018
Dallas/Fort Worth: Dec. 8, 2018

Thanks. Referencing the FAPA site, it shows that the events you listed will NOT be attended by major airlines, just regionals. Is that an error? Again, not familiar with the job fair mechanics.

I'm 100% civilian hired at AA because I went to job fairs. I'm nothing special.

You might be right... that was a cut/paste from an APA email... upon second reading, it just says that it will be an informational forum and not necessarily that AA will be there. Sorry, not quite sure why they even bothered to send that. Regardless, if you find an event that AA is attending, GO!!!! Anything else is horrible advice.

Is this something that will show our face on the computer camera? If so what is the attire?
I also have not attended. Something like this. Should be interesting.
