It was not easy for most to score a ticket. Persistence paid off.
We were congratulated at the event for 'having the fastest internet in the West'.
Those of you that are capable, I might suggest you write your own Perl script to do the repetitive button pushing for you, and then alarm you when the software succeeds at getting in.

Kinda sad that they know about the issue but don't do anything about it. The solution is easy, open the registration for 1-3 days, then have a lottery where slots are issued randomly to only qualified folks.

Well that's basically what it is to begin with, a lottery to get a slot.
I think many people on here have the perception that there are a large amount of non qualified people attending and taking up slots. I did not find that to be the case. Most people I met were other former military, other major airline pilots, regional pilots, corporate. I did meet several people from Alaska airlines looking to make the move over which I found to be very odd. Guess things aren't great over there?

I don't believe it's as random as people think. I would bet they have a filter set and if you don't meet the criteria you will get a sold out response. I was unable to be at my computer the day of and signed up as an alternate several days later. I was called and offered a ticket to the fair. It was a great event, very organized and well planned, and I agree with Carter1. Everyone at the fair was experienced. Just my opinion.

Just another data point, in case people are still interested: Attended job fair Saturday, still showing "Received Submission" on ICIMS. Profile was "tagged" at the event. Several thousand TT, only a few hundred TPIC. Meet all "preferred" minimums with exception of TPIC.

I, like many, also tried to go to the event in April and September of this year. I had some helpers trying to score a spot for me as I was flying. No luck. I signed up on the wait list as soon as it became available after the last offering was over, but never received the call or email to come as an alternate. I wonder if the wait list was offered on a random basis vs. signup time?
