United Fast Pass - NGPA Expo
 
Anyone else have any problems this morning acquiring a Fast Pass for the NGPA career fair next month?

I was completely stonewalled. Was even sitting at my computer right at 0900 when they opened up this morning. I was able to snag a United slot initially, however I had the Delta window pulled up in the background as a backup. Unfortunately, when I completed the United registration it sensed this (Delta window, I think?) and booted me out of the que for having two windows opened at the same time. Went back in at 0903 and they were all completely sold out!

It's insane out there!!! Hoping they add more slots because the only way to talk to United at this event is with a Fast Pass. Anyone have any luck?

Guess there are more gay pilots than I thought...

I embrace your diversity.

I was on right at 0900. I was on my phone, so I only tried to get one airline at a time. Repeatedly clicked on every available slot. Every time, I got an 'unavailable' message. I've already booked airline travel and hotels....couldn't book one single fast pass ticket to any airline.

I think most pilots take it in the can one way or another!

I did the same as you (2 Windows) and missed out on United. Emailed the fast pass enquiry email address and got a rather defensive response.

This crap shows they aren't short of applicants.

So is it bad form to pretend to be gay in order to get into the gay pilots association job fair?

Maybe the industry could embrace further diversity.

National Straight Pilots Association
National Cajun Pilots Association
National Polish-American Pilots Association
National Italian-American Pilots Association
National Hispanic-Latin American Pilots Association
National Arbor Day Appreciation and Botanists Pilots Association
National Hill Climbers and Hikers Pilots Association
National Bikers, Hikers, and Campers Pilots Association
National Boy, Girls, and Sea Scouts pilots Association



I hear they are all forming soon and should be holding job fairs.

It is all a scam to separate you from your money, nothing more, nothing less. It's all quite sad actually.

So correct. Welcome to 'Merica.

I'd be gay for a job at Delta or United.
