NGPA Expo on Jan 24
Just curious if anyone has a ticket to the career expo on the 24th and is no longer able to attend. I signed up for the NGPA months ago but didn't realize I had to register for the career expo as well.

Considering the major storm in the east coast I have a feeling there are going to be A LOT of no shows and that this policy is ridiculous and will hurt them.

I don't get this idea of only selling 400 tickets for the expo. It is not like there is any seating, just a bunch of AWGs walking around passing out resumes. It is a joke that they say they have "reached capacity of the facility". The hotel's website says the conference rooms can hold 1200 people. and most people will not stay the whole 9 hours.
At OBAP after lunch half the booths had only 1 or 2 pilots standing there.

I think that's where the 1200 capacity becomes a factor. 1050 attendees plus exhibitors would be 1200. Though it's unlikely everyone will be there at once, the hotel is just going by the fire code and the NGPA is going by the hotel.

I have no problem believing that. How many regional pilots are there? 10,000? Plus lots of JB, Spirit, VX, fractional folk etc etc. You know as well as I do that the only reason half the people are members is FOR the job fair!! Haha.
