ATL job fair

[Gregory24]

Anybody go to the ATL job fair? What companies ended up showing up?

Delta!

There were a few others, including AirTran, Emirates and ANA. Both Delta and AirTran were the main attractions. Probably 1000+ pilots there with 500 pilots each trying to get their time in with Delta and AirTran.

That is what I figured...thanks!

It was horrible and no one should go to the next one. Ok? Spread that around.

I feel like I had a solid 5 minutes with a DAL recruiter and was well worth the 3 or 4 hours I stood around waiting to talk with them. BUt, with 400+ other pilots going through I don't know how they could possibly remember any one. They jot notes down on your resume. I am guessing they probably give a quick rating to it and the top rated go to the special stack.

Funny... I got to talk to both within the first 30 min. Gotta be a go getter! Good luck by the way. Seriously.

I did think that this fair was more productive and positive than the first one I went to shortly after being furloughed. Could be taken as a positive metric for measuring our industry. Just being an optimist here.

Yep! The only country in the world using a ridiculous measuring system based on the dimensions of the limbs of a dead monarch
