I just signed up to attend the OBAP job fair in Miami which will be July 31st to August 2nd. I saw on the list that american airlines will be attending however there was no specific info regarding their attendance as to whether or not they will be a accepting resumes for pilots. I have been told from a few valid sources they will be opening their application window using a third party vendor for street hire pilots by late summer.Does anyone know if american will be at this job fair specifically for pilots or if its just for other aviation occupations such as mechanics, flight attendants etc.?

I heard from a friend that American Eagle will be definitely accepting resumes at OBAP, but nothing was mentioned about American Airlines.

AA was at WAI in March also..... just informative talking with pilots.

American will not be at OBAP specifically for Pilots.. There are going to Oshkosh as well. They are sending pilots to these events - not recruiters / HR people.

Slightly off topic but what is the dress code for the OBAP job fair? I cant seem to find it on any of their literature.

You want to dress to impress. Suit and tie.

I will be going wed but I am worried it might be a waste of time now. I have also heard Alaska will be there. The only other thing I could find on this is that it mostly seams like it will be flight schools or vendors looking for people.

Any updates on the job fair? Was AA accepting pilot resumes??

Thanks

Nope, but stay tuned.

Heard a rumor that some people were doing testing down at DFW, I called B.S. Anybody confirm/deny that?
