I got caught up in negative thinking from pilots that have attended events and have not had a positive experience, but I don't have all the facts and their behavior could have caused their lack of success.
Sorry to ruffle the feathers of the last few posters...sorry to derail the thread.

I think it's a great trait for someone to recognize and acknowledge when they're mistaken; so I wish you success in your efforts to get on with the airline.
I don't know an exact number but I'm sure a certain quantity of attendees to the convention are not ACTIVE or maybe even members. As with any group of people, we help those we constantly interact and see helping others. It's probably brings the feeling of being an outsider looking in on a group that shares an obvious minority status. That's why certain people probably express disappointment. But it is networking 101, from the day we join.
If you're ever in FL and want to see what we do and how we are, please PM me. Thanks

For what its worth, I haven't read about many recent job fair attendees getting calls recently. At least not without a meet and great accomplished as well.

I can only speak from my experience but for me I had my meet and greet in SFO almost a year to date to the call and interview. I was told there was a huge training bottle neck combined with the larger number of M&G candidates. might explain the delay in the call. I got the Email link for the Hogan test which I took on a Friday afternoon and within 30 mins had a call scheduling me for the interview. 2 weeks later I was in TK for the interview. I interviewed on a Monday so I missed the Wedensday review board for that week. So the following Thursday (10 days later) I received the call offering me the job and tentative class date ( approx 2 months out in my case). About 27 days prior I got the confirmation call and email. Hope that helps some. I heard 20 new hires a week starting in class starting Jan.

In fact, the FIRST thing one gets at the MG is the verbal disclaimer that it's NOT an interview, it's NOT a guaranty of an interview, it's NOT "silver bullet" nor ANY other nomenclature that other airlines may have, etc...........
