Those job fairs should be paying the prospective pilots to come and show up. Without pilots showing up, the job fair doesn't mean anything anyway. No audience. The dynamics have changed.....It's a pilots market now.

The upcoming job fair in September is in house for United and they are selecting 600 pilots from airline apps to attend, essentially pre interviewing those applicants who would have gotten their apps pulled anyways. If you consider hiring projections of ~800 pilots (I know they haven’t hired close to their goal in years...), getting the invite to this fair is a pretty big deal. Furthermore probably 40-50% of new hires at United will come from CPP agreements at express carriers, I would imagine a large chunk of the remaining interview invites for 2019 will come from this job fair.

Recruiters like to attend because it cuts down on their recruting costs. Pilots like it because you save time and money. Even if you don’t get the day off you are still able to attend.
