Not mad at you but thanks for the apology. The White Male Hetero crack made you seem like one of those guys who claims he cannot get hired because of women and minorities. I just didn't see the humor. The Denzel crack, kinda funny, but that's why you have a day job.

The job fairs back in the late 1990's were 99.99% white btw.

No offense taken, fly safe

Yes, of course. But it needs to be said without the racist tone. Got it? If not, then get it.

And if the national media were ever to catch wind of that and make a segment who doesn't attend, it would look terrible for spirit.

Back on topic. Does anyone have any explanation on the "seniority" at fapa job fairs? In a nutshell.

"The job fairs back in the late 1990's were 99.99% white btw."


78.2% of all statistics are made up. The other 41.6% are wrong.

Which three? When?

It's not a guaranteed process nor is it an immediate response.
Know a guy that got called within a month. His experience doesn't prove that it works all the time for everyone.

And 98.7% of all statisticians hate their jobs. :)

You are assigned a seniority number at the time you register for the specific job fair. Once at the job fair itself, groups of 50ish line up to speak with the recruiters. 1-50, 1-100, 1-150 etc. Gives you an idea of when you'll actually get to speak with someone and allows you to go sit down, relax, and stand around for hours at a time. Makes for a more civilized experience.

Or it shows the chief pilot that you don't follow simple instructions. You would have been in a very small minority yesterday in LAS in a suit...

"60% of the time, it works every time!"

I attended the job fair in LV yesterday. Not sure if it will give the desired results.

I am an experienced airline pilot immigrant green card holder who has never worked in this country and knows very little about the industry here and very few people in it and so was a little hesitant to go.

BUT everybody I met, recruiters and especially fellow applicants made me feel valued and welcome and I realized that pilots, no matter where we have "cut our teeth" in aviation, speak the same language.

Thank you to the genuinely nice folk I hung out with yesterday, I now feel I can be part of the industry here and look forward to getting involved.

Oicur12,

Is that pronounced "Oh, I see you are one, too," or is it "Oh, I see you are 12!"?

Big difference. :)

"Oh, I see you are too". Does that help. It started on another aviation website at the dawn of the wwww.

I personally highly recommend it, you have nothing to lose. It helped me to get interviews at the regional airlines. Before going to the job fair I wasn't getting any calls but soon as I went to the job fair I start getting calls & emails.
