Hey folks!

I've been negotiating with a number of employers that are forecasting needing employees later this year and we've already got some signed up. So, basically, I've started a new webpage with "one stop shopping" for the annual "NetworkJC" event.

What I'm trying to do is continue the spirit of NetworkJC where we all get together, have a great time networking and make lots of great memories AND tagging on "convention-style" format.

Just a little teaser:
Two majors are coming
One large cargo carrier (large like planes where they warn me in a 767-300 about wake turbulence)
A major "Herdon-based" organization, perhaps two.
Two regionals
A Middle East airline that actively recruits expat Americans (think "largest building in the world")
A pilot-friend financial services specialist
Good Ole' Walt Forred, specializing in great medicals and special issuances
Col. Abel Barrientes, Vice Commander of the 4th Air Force (You want to work for the guard or reserve, THIS is the guy)
A large flight training academy in the Southwest
And AirlineApps.com

There are a lot more groups that are expressing interest, but stay tuned for more information.

And that's just after two weeks of work. Imagine what we're going to be able to pull off!

So, before I announce specifics, this is what I'd like:

If you want to see your airline or employer represented, if you can either get me contact information or have them contact me, I'll do the rest.

If you've got vendors that you'd like to see, forward me their contact information or talk to them about the event. Pilot supply stores (*cough* Slush *COUGH*), sunglasses, software, whatever, let me know.

Kristie and I are still juggling RFP's from various venues in Las Vegas and should have specifics on dates and location very soon. We've partnered with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority who has been a wealth of free and helpful information so this event will be unlike anything you've seen before.

Stay tuned.

Thanks for your support over the last decade and hope to see y'all this October.

Look for information as it solidifies here and at AviationCareerExpo.com

(that's not a third-party website, that's me! :) )

Yeah it's a recession, blah blah blah, but if you're "in it to win it" don't miss out.
 
Another reason I changed the MAIN event name was, unless you're a member of JC, you really have no idea what the heck a "NetworkJC" is, ha! :)

NetworkJC, itself, will remain the same, close-knit event, but Aviation Career Expo will give you impetus to get your ass out to Las Vegas.

We're planning lots of events for the wives, girlfriends and "plus ones", please stay tuned! :)
 
You guys are the best! Thanks for all of your hard work.

Now go to sleep.

And what is the West Coast office doing up so early....or late. They can't be selling cars already.... :)
 
Awesome!

Thanks for the hard work on this. I know it can't be easy. Hopefully I can make it out.
 
Breakfast? HAHAHHA we've been going all night...i'm still not even tired...We do have a local IHOP now too plus we found out starbucks opens at 4:30 now...WOOT!
 
All I can say is WOW! Thank you guys for all the effort you put into making this the best aviation community on the internet!!!! I'm going to do everything I can to be there this year.

also, the new website looks great :rawk:
 
Oh wow, awesome work!

Do you guys accept any kind of flying employer?

I doubt I could get ours onboard. But I could always try.
 
Holy shnikeys, Batman!!! From what you're describing, NJC has made the move into the big-time! Congrats and I guess perhaps more importantly, THANK YOU BOTH for all you do for the JC community! :clap: :rawk:

I'm super excited for both of you, Doug and Kristie! You guys rock! This is big news! Hell, I'm super excited to be part of the JC community! I'm trying to do a better job of planning this year....my missing NJC last year was a fluke. Not gonna happen again!!

:beer:
 
If I can get the dates off, I'm FedExing myself out there for it. Nessa has already said "Go. I'll stay home with the kiddo. You need to be there."
