Honestly if anyone was interested in them or anyone other than the big three my advice would be to speak with as many recruiters there as possible. The lines weren't long at all and they would be excited to see your enthusiasm

Just got back from day one of the OBAP. I was able to speak with each and every recruiter from every airline where I wanted to work. I got great insight and feedback, got my name and face out there a bit more and overall I felt it was well worth my time and money. The people running the conference were extremely friendly and helpful. They tried to help things run smoothly with the times, but by later in the afternoon people were still waiting in long lines. Longest line I stood in was Delta (close to two hours), shortest was FedEx and jetBlue (no lines). If you are going I would say hit up 'the big three' as soon as possible and you'll have plenty of time to speak with others towards the end of the day.
For full disclosure I am a white male and this was my first OBAP conference. I would say close to 80-90 percent were white males, 99.5 percent wearing suits, and the recruiters and personnel putting on the event were very nice. Overall a nice experience.

I did have time slots for all three. It didn't work that well to be honest but at least allowed everyone to segment which ones they were going to first. The good thing though is that you were able to meet with everyone you wanted to meet with. Apparently speaking to people in line it was much better than Women in Aviation. I have never been to theirs so I can't compare. For this one the doors opened about 11:15, I met with all big three plus four others and was out the door at 5pm. Seven airlines in under five hours. (Not counting a quick snack and coffee break).

Did OBAP today, talked with everyone I wanted to and even some I did not. Time slots worked great at AA, OK at DAL, and UA was running way behind. Walked up to SWA and FEX with no wait. All in all pleasantly surprised by my first fair.
