Here's one data point to show what's possible....
Total compensation including pay, 401K, profit sharing and per diem.
SWA
1st year - ~80K
2nd year - 142K
3rd year - 174K
4th year - 205K (projected)
Average 16-17 days flying per month. Pick up lots of premium flying in the summer.

You can choose to bid straight pay or 1.5x straight pay which is called premium. Vast majority of open trips in the summer go premium.

However if you want to do the math here it is. Our 401K is 9.3%. 1st year I got no profit sharing (ps). 2nd year 6% ps, 3rd year 9.6% ps, 4th year estimating 12% ps on the low side. Also included 6K per year per diem.

It can't hurt. And it may help. I've been to four over the last few years and I have not been called. Fingers crossed! It is a great way to meet with them and talk over your credentials. It was always a very pleasant and informative experience. The FedEx pilots were genuinely helpful, friendly and very easy to talk with. Each fair I attended was an OBAP and I can not say enough positive things about the people affiliated with that organization. They went out of their way to accommodate.
Just my opinion: Try to avoid going on day one of the fair, if able. I've noticed it to be quite more crowded that day, with longer lines. Day two and three had far fewer people. Good luck!

Hope we have better luck with him than UPS did. Only been there five months and heard he already tore up one of their 767s with a hard landing. Personally, I think he should have stayed at ALK and awaited the merge with DAL.
