That number already dropped quickly because of the hiring gap. Yes, junior captain is under 5 years, but from that point on about 400 people have been hired. At 20-30 retirements a year a new hire needs growth and attrition or it'll be a loooooooong time until they upgrade.

I passed the written test back in the fall, but I never heard anyting else back from HR. I am debating going to Women in Aviation so I can meet with the recruiters in person to see if that will get me an interview.
Does anybody here know or think that meeting them at a job fair will help get me that last step? Are there guys here who are convinced that a job fair got them the interview with Atlas?

I went to the job fair in MIA in January. I had done the written test just few days prior.
Still waiting for a call.
So does it help to see them? No.
On the other hand, if I was available to meet them again in DFW, I would. The more time they see my face with the jumping and crying until they call, the better I would think...

Not to conflict with will ask, but I know for a fact that going to a job fair is the sole reason I was called for an interview and eventually offered a job. One thing is for sure, going to a job fair is not going to hurt your chances of getting called, whereas not going is definitely not going to help....

GV: You will see folks on this board who have been very proactive with updating, connections, attended job fairs, etc and are still waiting after a few years. There are some amazing chaps and chapettes who got the call within a few weeks after submitting the application. Everyone's mileage may vary.
For me, I had to let my application lapse for about 8 months because I could not meet the requirements (i.e. out on medical). I am in the process of updating my application as this was my primary company I wanted before. I have several internals and I know I can pass the written old and new.
I would recommend patience and persistence---humor always helps too. If you are a safecracker, breaking the HR Code will serve you well.
Best to all as always. For me, it is great to be back.
