    I'm trying to find a good resource to find the latest on where all the fairs are. I'm looking beyond Regionals, but I suppose any resource would be great for those looking to hit on the Regionals, also.

    A sleeper is the women in aviation job fair. A bunch of dudes and dudetts got interviews where I work and acceding to the interwebz getting an interview where I work is all but impossible.

    A lot of the main job fair's are great for regionals and mainlines, occasionally CFI position, and occasionally a cargo company or 2 show up. Corporate/Charter, most cargo, etc.... people recommend you for a position, and networking...

    Two of my buddies got called by Xjet AFTER they went to a job fair. Meeting recruiters face to face makes a huge difference!

    Definitely not cargo. Cargo companies do go to Job fairs and such. Places like Encore will even hire off the street.

    They do. I talked to an Airnet recruiter at the last JC hosted job fair. AMF has been known to go around as well. It does happen.

    I know I've posted this somewhere before on one of these here interweb message doohickeys, but of the five jobs I've held in the aviation business, attendance of a job fair got me started with three of them. My math may be a little off; I'm pretty drunk at the moment...

    Anywhatsits, my personal experience suggests you give them a shot.

    It is a good idea to go to these. Once my flight time gets high enough I will start attending these regularly.

    I've been going about this the wrong way. So that's the secret! I kid, I kid.
