Default Pilot shortage begins Nov 1, 2013

The (regional) pilot shortage is finally here folks. FAPA is paying pilots to attend their job fair.

FAPA.aero | Pilot Job Fairs

FAPA.aero will be PAYING PILOTS to attend our Orlando 2013 Job Fair. The payment will come in the form of a $25 Gift Certificate to StopOverStore.com.

Here's How it Works:
-Register using one of the below REGISTER buttons (dependent upon if you are a FAPA.aero member or not). Registration must be completed by Friday, November 22nd at 1200 EST.
-Show up at the Job Fair by 0900 to register and listen to airline presentations.
-Stay at the Job Fair until at least 1400. This will give you enough time to talk to at least one participating airline/company.
-Go to the FAPA.aero Registration desk and submit a copy of your resume with a valid email address.
-Receive an email from FAPA.aero within five business days with a certificate code valued at $25.
-Note that when you signup for any of our Job Fairs you receive a membership to our website. The regular initiation fee of $49 is waived but you will be charged $4.95 per month until you tell us to cancel it. To cancel, click here.

not really.....what about the hotel and airline ticket to and from the fair? Many people can make more than 25$ an hour let alone a day.

Is there a limit on how many I can attend to supplement my income?

Well, as long as we have self inflicted doses of madness topped off with improper commuting techniques we are bound to lose a few along the way.

Good find....very interesting. I cannot understand why management has pitched bad contracts at their respective regionals if they are in a pinch for pilots.

Well can you really blame them, if the pilots keep accepting them?

They should make all these job fairs free.

Exactly. Regionals are already feeling the pinch. Contracts should be improving if they want to attract newhires. Pilot groups signing concessionary contracts are signing their own death certificates.
