Always crossing Virginia avenue, you see guys in the above and the first thought is, "Oh, must be conducting interviews today, huh…"
Just look sharp and wear it well, whatever it is.

How so? My company's uniform mimics yours. Other than the double breasted coat, hat, and emblem on the wings. Other than that, same same. I can make myself look good in a suit, which I will never wear for a prospective employer. That doesn't mean I'll spend the money to have a uniform tailored. If I have a uniform tailored at least you know I have at least one to wear while on duty.

I'll agree with that. Was merely just a question. Wasn't trying to troll, this time. Just out of pure curiosity.

There's no doubt about that. I'm sure I'm one. The shoulder harnesses on the 200 ALWAYS leave black stripes on my shoulders. I look GREAT walking from gate to gate during a swap or catching a commute.

...kidding) had a UA guy behind me say "you must fly the CRJ." I said yeah. "I could tell from the black marks." Classy.

My theory is low profile with attire. You will stand out in a uniform IMO. Why do that when your competitors are all in suits? Stand out through your resume and one on one not from what you wear. In my experience, OBAP and WAI have atendees that are there for other functions that wear their uniform for each event. Everyone who is there specifically for the job fair wears a suit. Plus they'll know you're a Captain now by your resume

That's different. I'm speaking more to the pilots with weird shiny dress pants, bowling shoes/reeboks, etcThere's no doubt about that. I'm sure I'm one.

Ok so if you don't have Delta's mins right now, would it be a good idea to go? I would still like to hear what Delta has to offer, but at the same time I don't want to look like a Doofensmirtz by going and they look at me like - and you came here expecting,..........?!?!?!?!?
I think they ask if you don't meet the minimums, leave the spot for someone who does. It really wouldn't help.
But if you have questions, you can always contact the recruitment team on their facebook page at http://DeltaPilotRecruiting.com

Or you could wear the blazer
just because it's optional doesn't mean leave it in the closet for 6 months during summer.

It is critical you follow Delta's instructions to the letter. That Facebook page says you "must" meet their minimums to attend. It would not help you, and in fact I believe it would hurt you, if you signed up and didn't meet the mins if you received a slot.
This is one of many chances Delta gives applicants to pay attention to the details.

If you go to the event not meeting the mins or not following instructions, your name goes on the never-hire list for the company.
It honestly wouldn't surprise me. Some of the never hire screw ups are pretty trivial.
Had a friend get put on the never hire list at UA. He was arrested because his ex wife claimed he beat her. The state he lives in, someone is going to jail if the police are called for something like that. He had already been called in for an interview, and this happened in the interim. He called to tell the recruiter (apparently, said fellow has a video on YouTube about integrity), at which point he was berated, yelled at, and told he'd never work at United!" Thing is, it was a false charge, he called to tell them to show integrity, and was then told he had none for lying on his app.

That sucks. Probably had an itchy trigger finger because some app company was telling people to inflate their apps or omit things then switch back after getting called. All that for 3 easy payments of $166.66.

Do not do this.
People do! And they get to meet HR and corporate security. But there's no relish tray or finger sandwiches at the Big Brown Table during that meeting.
He had numerous international recs. He prepped through Emerald. But the charge was added between the time where he got invited to interview, and was supposed to do the interview. It wasn't Emeralds fault.
