It sounds like your first Job fair... so I recommend Bring a resume, dress to impress. No reservation required and be prepared to show them what you are capable of.

not my first, but thx for the info. I was just unclear whether it is a meet n greet or if they’ll do interviews. I know normally they do Skype interview then in-person then sim eval; it’d be nice to knock it all out at once, but that seems unlikely to be the case here.
Anyway, would love to try to get there and at least meet some WGN people.

Given that their simulator is right there in Miami, a few minutes from the hotel, and it's where they do their in-person interviews, I suspect that the entire process takes place at the "job fair." I suspect that if they're interested in you after having met, they'll conduct the sim and everything else in one place and skip the skype interview. I can't imagine that they'd have people come there just to drop a resume, then come back another time for an interview and sim check. It would seem that given their regular interview process in the same location, they're seeking bulk applicants to show up and do the interview.

Perhaps someone can clarify.

Yeah, as Burke describes is how it was when I did it, about a year ago. I wound up going with another offer, but it seemed like an ok place, from what I could tell.

We've been told about as much as you have.

I’ve read through the thread and most is a bit dated. I’m looking for current info.
Is this truly home based or do you have to live relatively close to a major airport, MCO, ATL, MIA, etc?
Could you live and fly out of BFE regional airport?
Are the DH flights coach?
Is there a training contract?
If given the option MD-11 or B747?
Bid for days off so I’m assuming the 17-20 days on are consecutive?

Quick answers...

1. Home based, but unless you live near a major intl airport I'd get it in writing via email that your chosen airport is approved.

2. DHs are coach, yes.

3. No training contract.

4. Not sure about the option about MD11 vs. 747. 747 classes have been rare til recently.

5. Yes, plan to be gone for at a min 17 days so you aren't surprised. We do have a seniority bidding system.

Asiabound, thanks for the info. Can I PM you with a few more questions?

Regarding the job fair mentioned above, I enquired. WGA will meet and greet, and for those selected, all the interview process will be conducted that day (interview, written, simulator check). No specific class dates, but a class monthly, starting at the end of each month.

Don't PM me with questions; that's all the information I received.

Any dirty rumors about the 777 on the ramp?
