Yes and the the days appear to be identical with the exception of the optional paid add ons. Never been to one of these and wanted to make sure I’m not missing out on anything from a misunderstanding.

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.

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
What's wrong with #2? Is Santa doing the interview?

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

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.

just say you really wanted this job so bad you use your vacation time to get it off.

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.
