NGPA 2016 Industry Expo
Or better yet the job fairs should ONLY be for pilots with less than 4000TT and no PIC. The rest of us that have that and have been Chief Pilots, Check Airman, Safety Officers etc shouldn't have to. No offense and I've been there but they're the ones that have to prove "how bad" they want it. Not somebody with a little gray hair and battle scars in this biz that has proven themselves over and over again by sticking to this business.
TMAAT that HR gets the heck out of the pilot hiring biz.

Qualified?
Either the recruiters or the event organizers should indicate the bare minimum qualifications for folks to be able to talk to recruiters/buy a fast pass.

I see your point and hat's off to ya for being magnanimous towards the younger folks, but if you don't have 1000hrs of Turbine PIC time in your logbook, you are wasting everyone's time standing inline to talk to a recruiter from a major airline. And you are probably denying someone standing behind you, that is qualified, a chance to do so.

Not my intent...
Didn't mean for this come off that way - at all. After going back and re-reading my earlier post, can see how it would be received in that manner. Just having been to job fairs/conventions to talk to recruiters and having to stand in line with folks that were not even close to being qualified just so they could get some "face time" is hard to let slip without saying anything. I really do think that recruiters should put a sign out saying what the mins are to be considered for employment. I was trying to dovetail off of Learflyers earlier comment...

Hotel....$150.00
Registration & Fees.....$75.00
Standing in line all day long and never even getting to talk to the recruiter at your favorite major airline.....Priceless
