Default Major airline job fairs???

Hello all, I've been working on getting applications ready and submitted and making myself as marketable to Major airlines as possible. I would really like to go to a few job fairs this year, but I'm having a hard time finding information on when these events occur and how to get tickets to them? Being on an airline schedule the earlier i can plan the better. So I'm wondering if there is a master list or if we could create one for those interested on when certain events will be occurring and when to get a slot for them!! please help...

Only one left is Obap. Everything else next year will probably be in house job fairs.

They would all be in house if people would just stop going to the stupid paid ones. Pilots are their own worst enemies. Job fairs are the biggest scam ever.

Fair enough, what are the typical dates for the big ones next year. I've heard of the Women in Aviation conference, and OBAP but are there any others???

Yes, there are a few more other job fairs. Search function yields all of them.

More than just attending these job fairs, try getting involved with these organizations. You dont have to be gay, black or female to join any of these organizations.

I know WIA and OBAP make you join as a member anyways. OBAP has a really cool program called ACE Academy that they put on throughout the country every year. I've volunteered at one years ago, and I had a great time meeting pilots at other airlines as well as giving back to the community. I highly encourage you to give it a try

Here is a list of locations and date this year

Bahahaha.....what the hell is this world coming to when a someone who's not even a member of said minority feels a need to "volunteer their time" for that particular organization so they can earn brownie points with the airline recruiters. Very sad state of affairs. Ridiculous....
