I've enjoyed the Aero Crew job fairs, lots of great information, not just about the airlines themselves, but also some great information marketing yourself to the airlines. Highly recommended.

I got hired at a major by going to a job fair. Didn't have internal references at the time. Didn't even talk to anyone at the fair really. Just wound up handing it in and got a call a week or two later.
Strange things can happen.

Sounds pretty hit or miss as far as how effective these things are. Depending on who is manning the airline's booth, could be an opportunity to make yourself stand out to a recruiter or chief pilot, or it may be a colossal waste of time.

But, you can go to Aero Crew Solutions website, FAPA.AERO, OBAP or WAI, they'll all have information on them about upcoming job fairs, here they're at, registration info and who's planning on attending.
