The job fair runs Thursday 9-4 and Friday 8-3. Have fun out there and maybe see you around if you're out there on the Thursday!

Oh I know, I'm not offended. That being said, I've heard more than enough pilots make jokes like these without reading the room, especially around Flight Attendants, so I figured it was worth pointing out. I've even seen and heard pilots make jokes like these during interviews, which makes it doubly worth mentioning.
Keep jokes you make to anybody at a job fair or at an interview setting 100% G-rated.

That's just dumb on their part then. Always know your audience.

Yup. Be fully prepared, and that includes resume, logbook, interview prep, grooming, appropriate attire (suit & tie unless otherwise specified for the conference). Make sure your app is updated.
Be prepared for " how did you get the time off to be here today?". Wrong answers:
1. Called in sick.
2. Lie about calling in sick

Never heard of it at a job fair, but if they run it like an interview, who knows.
Best to not call in sick, but I guess if you have no other choice that's what you have to do. I had to hustle big time once to get a day off for a legacy interview, but I guess I would have called in if I had no other choice.

There are plenty of plausible anecdotal stories about people getting tripped up at interviews by that question.

you sacrificing your time to get drunk on the beach in Cancun was worth getting a call... that will make you look like a true angel who really wants it.
