I would also like to know the odds that I will be able to speak to UAL and DAL, or would I be better cutting my losses and getting back $100 out of the $199 I paid a few days ago....

The catch to the fair-only registration for $150 is you need to become a member, which is $49. Once you click on the member registration, you can select exhibits career fair only for a grand total of $199.
I paid for mine on 1 June and got suckered also. Now I can't even "modify" my registration to see if there are appointments open.
Oh well. Is this shin-dig business casual?

With that said; has anyone attended without appointment times? If so, how was it?

So they were backlogged for the rest of the day and were unable to take standbys. DL was easy to talk to without a slot. Not sure about the rest but I think you could have talked to the rest on standby. Hopefully it's organized better this year and they will all be taking standbys.

I volunteered to work this conference (I'm with AA and live in Chicago and wanted to help out). I'm not totally certain that I'll be selected, but if I am I'll ask whether or not we'll only be meeting with attendees who have a slot or if there will be additional opportunities.
