It's a trap!

I know Flight Ops (the career counseling company) is having another job fair this weekend (at IAD.) Apparently, Delta wasn't happy with the way the last few job fairs had been run. They had tons of people wanting to get some face time with them, and it was first come, first served - so alot of candidates stood in line all day and never got to talk to anyone. Delta made their complaints known to the folks that were running the job fair, and it seems the result is that Delta is now scheduling "slots" with a limited number of job fair attendees, rather than having a free-for-all. This might be the "interview" to which this person was invited.

My understanding is that its not a full fledged interview, but it is a one-on-one with one of the higher ups in the recruitment/newhire process (kind of a "pre" interview, I guess.) I don't know if Delta is selecting the folks that get these slots (so they spend time with folks they already know of qualified and competitive,) or if its based on when you registered. And, or course, the golden question is: would they spend this kind of effort talking to potential newhires if they didn't plan on ramping things up again soon? I don't have that answer.

We might gleen some useful information if we know the status of the interview team. Were they disbanded after last summer, or are they still operational?

And that's assuming you can stick a tee in the ground.

Kudos to the crew of flt 196/19th, PHL to CDG. They spent the last couple of hours of their crossing on one engine.

Incident: Delta Airlines B752 over Atlantic on Nov 20th 2010, engine shut down in flight

401K? Its a retirement thing unless you're talking about Carl's Christmas party, then you mean 401K with a $. As in the bill, $401K.

Now lets use that in a sentence: "I heard Carl might claim a hardship to get the money out of his 401K to pay for his Latest and Greatest 2010 Christmas party which cost 401K, as in $401,000."

To which you might ask, why $401,000? I honestly don't know, why don't you ask the L&G Party Planning Committee, maybe they know? Who is on that committee anyways?

We've got 15 hours to plan this thing out before Carl lands.

No, he did the one in Atlanta in September. Got some face time and it went well.

Oh there are more then just SAN. Mexico City & Jackson Hole, WY come to mind.
