American Airlines job fair

Not really. I just wouldn’t want to mix my personal life with a recruiting event that could potentially lead to a job. If I’m there, I wouldn’t want any distractions. You’d bring your SO to this event or the Delta Career Expo if that was an option?

Absolutely. My career choices affect more than just myself. This isn’t a job, it’s a lifestyle. My wife has been involved in as much of my career decisions as I can involve her in. AIDS is a thing, and it tends to be more common with those who think the other half belongs at home.

That’s good. Not sure what your last sentence has anything to do with this but ok.

I couldn't agree more with this. It's a big deal, and any proud woman (if you found the right one) will be excited and be a great support to your career endeavors.
 
I'd be afraid of mine going rogue and asking one of those "Pilot Wives of Facebook: Logbook Nook" groups and doing it all in calligraphy.

Eh... mine is a total June Cleaver, happy homemaker type. I already work so much, and he's used to seeing me for a good length of time, only on Weds & Sun on my days off, with all my jobs. I took five days off straight at the beginning of the month. The first few days he was happy to spend time with me. The last few days he was asking me, if I can maybe pick up some shifts at one of my Per Diem jobs. Said I was home too long and was cramping his style. I smiled and said you're going to make a wonderful airline spouse.

I agree with @Jordan93. I wouldn't want my spouse to attend a career fair with me. He's a total Type-A. He needs to stye busy, and have constant stimulation. Idle hands and all. If he doesn't have it, he gets naggy and annoying af. His unfamiliarity with the industry, the long lines, him asking thousands of questions and hours of waiting in line and being aimless. I'd want to kill him.

If he did come along, he would have to do stuff on his own, like go exploring the city. And we'd meet up for dinner when it's over.

It’s not that I wouldn’t want to involve my wife (when that time comes) in the decision process. I think she’d be fine with getting the Cliff Notes version of the job fair. She doesn’t need to be following me around and asking recruiters questions.
