They could get the reservation list from whomever runs the fair. Maybe cross reference that list and match emails associated with apps on file. Probably takes about .000001th of a second and 1/500th of a watt of power. Computers are amazing these days!
Not hard to figure out. Sitting at home one’s ass is worth exactly zero points to any airline. We are talking about a very good career (hopefully.). I am always floored that people who have spent tons of time (and often money) becoming qualified for this job will treat it like an opportunity to work at Jiffy Lube.
Oh well. Sit at home, don’t make the effort. A participation trophy is in the mail.

This exactly! Well said. Congrats you got your ratings, you slugged it out flying banners, ag, sight tours, charter, regionals, Mil, overseas the list never ends... there are literally thousands flighting it out for a few choice slots. And you end your efforts short of attending a job fair or two to network and maybe find out what you could do better. WOW
To even think that a company this size wouldn’t track attendance in some way is laughable to me.
PREP, JOB FAIR, FLY, REPEAT
If you do this with a POSITIVE attitude I promise you get to a major sooner than those who refuse to go.
BTW YOUR SUPPORTING SOME GREAT ORGANIZATIONS BY ATTENDING! That money is used to further flying for the next generations.

Interview
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forum and I have an interview next month. I'm looking for any advice on how to prepare for the Face to Face along with any current information on the interview questions/process. Thank you in advance!

Aviation interviews is a subscription site with good reviews. I’d subscribe to it also-but there is no substitute for practicing real interview situations with real people.

A few hundred bucks now for prep can equate to a few million dollar career.

Thank you very much for the quick response! Any help I can get is greatly appreciated. Between FAPA and Emerald, which would be more beneficial for the AA interview?

Been a long time, but fapa gals all used to be hr people at AA.
I’m not familiar with centerline, but they sound good too. I think all the big name ones should be able to prepare you well.
I like the idea of preparing for a particular airline. I really don’t believe in the “our prep will get you ready for any interview” approach. Some people say that works, but I’m skeptical.
Specific intel is good. The more specific the better. I really think airlines like that.

You do want to be yourself at the interview. Unless you’re an idiot. Then try to fake it like crazy and we’ll hope the interviewers sniff it out.
Be prepared. Depending upon your age it pays about $450,000 a year at the end. Seven year value if you upgrade is about $275,000. If that’s chump change you can blow it off. It that’s real money to you then be prepared so that you can achieve it.
