Actually you don't "have to" go to a job fair. If you're pushing very button you can, and checking very box you can, job fairs is on the list.
121 is a good addition to your resume. Like you said in a diffferent post, you're learning and gaining experience. You'll be better from the experience. That's part of your professional developement as you transition from mil to civ flying. Some of it's just different.

It's been a while since I flew Part 121 but don't you need to keep your first class current while employed as a Part 121 pilot? I renew mine every 6 months strictly for the applications as I fly Part 91 only. Once you get a new date in the system, with your recent currency in 121 ops I am betting you'll get some invites even prior to WAI.

Sliceback, I agree with you on meeting the requirements. I just figured that if they saw a First Class medical in the system and saw that I was still flying 121 it would be seen as one of those things i would need to have updated prior to the interview. I'm not sure why I thought that. I will definitely hit the conferences.
CODs4ever, since I fly as an FO (SIC) I can fly with a current Second Class. If I were the PIC or a required crew member over 60, I would have to renew every six months as well. I fall under (2) below.
§61.23 Medical certificates: Requirement and duration.
(a) Operations requiring a medical certificate. Except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, a person—
(1) Must hold a first-class medical certificate:
(i) When exercising the pilot-in-command privileges of an airline transport pilot certificate;
(ii) When exercising the second-in-command privileges of an airline transport pilot certificate in a flag or supplemental operation in part 121 of this chapter that requires three or more pilots; or
(iii) When serving as a required pilot flightcrew member in an operation conducted under part 121 of this chapter if the pilot has reached his or her 60th birthday.
(2) Must hold at least a second class medical certificate when exercising:
(i) Second-in-command privileges of an airline transport pilot certificate in part 121 of this chapter (other than operations specified in paragraph (a)(1)(ii) of this section); or...

Or expired as in what's applicable to the operation to be conducted/age, etc...?
As an applicant for the majors, should I be going to my AME every 6 months for a medical, regardless of age?

Based on what I have read here, if it shows as being more than 6 months old, the computer will drop you from consideration.

Congrats to all the new hires!!!
Can someone please give me a clue what I am doing wrong? Here are my stats:
2800+ TT
2400+ MEL
1650+ PIC (all heavy military)
750+ IP/EP
Masters w/3.9
BS w/ 3.7
Currently flying 121 for a regional making peanuts. Apps have been in to the Majors and Legacy guys for two years. Finally retired from the AF this summer and have been flying 121 for about 4 months. Several internal recs at DAL, UAL, AA and SWA. One friend sent an email to HR at DAL over 8 months ago. I have heard nothing but crickets. No "fix it" email. No "TBNT" emails. Nothing at all.
I will say I have not been to any hiring events yet. I planned to go to the last WIA but I ended up being in indoc at my regional during the conference. I will hit every single one I can from here on. But, being on reserve with no seniority will make that hit or miss.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
