Should I go to NGPA?
2,100TT 50 Multi, 740 Turbine (PC-12), ATPCTP and ATP Written complete.
Is it worth the expense of going to a job fair like NGPA?
Or are there so many guys ahead of me it would just be waste of $$$?
Curious to hear thoughts...

Job fairs are good ways to get your application to stand out.

that seems solid for a regional applicant. Go shake hands and kiss babies

save your money! Just apply via online, they will call, going is not a guarantee.

Unless you are mil or have a ton of hours I would not bother with meet and greets currently. The regionals are not hiring for the most part and it's just kind of a waste of time and money to go to these things. But as soon as they do start hiring, it can absolutely be worth it.

Do you have the cash and time off to go? If yes, then why not do something to distinguish yourself and gather some insight into your desired career path? If it's not NGPA, pick one of the conferences and go to it. Also, invest in resume/application review and interview prep.

I bet their apps are just as worthy a look without the job fair. When the airlines get desperate they open the flood gates and it won’t matter. Now we’re just waiting on Boeing…,
