That said, I am very against job fairs. There is nothing but anecdotal evidence on both sides of the fence to prove or disprove they have any influence in getting hired: Jonny over here went to a job fair and got hired by airline X, it MUST have been the job fair. Tommy went to 3 job fairs, none of those airlines called but instead got hired by airline Y that wasn't even present. Job fairs are crap.
I went to 3. From my perspective it appeared that the organizer was making money hand over fist. The airlines making billions in profits got a free pre-interview, and the guys with the least money were the ones footing the bill. It just felt wrong to me.

I don't think Delta cares if you have a few failures in the first few years of your training. What they DO care about is honesty. Don't try to sugarcoat anything in your interview. Be 100% honest, if they catch you lying they will show you the door and never let you come back. They would rather see you own your mistake and find out what you learned from it. As long as you have a "reason" and not an "excuse" you should be OK.
