I know they had the mil-only event a couple months back but perhaps they will open one up to non-mil guys next time around.
As of now American isn't on the confirmed list for WAI in March. And at the United military event we were told that 2017 is likely the last year that United attends the big 3 job fairs, as the intent is to transition to in-house events. This looks like the way of the future for all the big players.

Just to play devil's advocate, I think paying 100 bucks a day to see every airline in the US in one place is worth the $$$.

Yeah, the UAL job fair will be free. So will the AA job fair, and the DAL, and the AS, and the LUV etc etc etc. Now people will be forced to give up multiple weekends to go see all these different companies and pay for hotels etc.

Not a good thing for the job-seeker. Makes things easier for the majors to see "who really wants it"...

That's actually a good point. Sounds like a great "be careful what you wish for" situations.

As far as DAL goes, an attendance will get your app "scored". Doesn't mean one will get an invite. It JUST means they will give your app a look and put it into their "Tier 1/2/3" system....

Not a problem, after 25 years you will have been neutered anyway.
