I too just got the invite to the meet and greet in Dallas next Tuesday. I filled out the app last weekend and got an email today from pilot recruiting. My question is: is this different from the meet the chiefs that are advertised on LinkedIn or is this an invite only or are they always invite only? I didn’t see this one advertised on LinkedIn or Facebook. I’m looking at close to $800 round trip to get there on short notice (not currently working at a CASS participant) and possibly calling in sick, probably just gonna make it happen unless someone thinks waiting for the next one isn’t a bad idea.

Not sure how significant the meet the chiefs are. I do know that a seniority difference of as little as a week could drastically affect your entire career. It could mean the difference of being furloughed one day or not, upgrade or downgrade, holding or being displaced from your base of choice, getting the vacation you want, etc, etc.
Point being seniority is everything and the sooner you get on a list the better. A week or a month of seniority could have no affect but I’ve been unlucky enough to realize the difference of one week of seniority can drastically change your life. There are also guys in this industry where a few seniority numbers was the difference between an extra few hundred thousand or million dollars.

I second that. If you want to work here, go to the event. Since the contract was signed, the hiring mins have gone up and the pool is much more competitive. Good luck

I went last August. Since I never went to an interview I have no idea how they differ. I was in the room for maybe 20 minutes.

Thanks everyone for all the info, I arrived in Dallas today, found some cheaper flights out of SFO, like $500 less, just had to drive 3 extra hours but like someone said I did not want to wonder if this was the difference in getting the airline job or not. I’ll share any info I get after I meet with recruiting tomorrow.
