Scrolling back above, there is some confusion to clarify. Hacker wrote about the only email that should come is the actual selected to interview email, and the travel associated with that.
"The email would start something like this:
"The Delta Pilot Selection Team is pleased to invite you to visit our World Headquarters Campus in Atlanta to be considered for employment as a Delta Air Lines pilot."
And then it would be followed by the paid, positive space transportation to the opportunity for Delta to get to know me beyond what is all ready on the detailed application I all ready paid to submit."
Which I thought someone responded to with a:
You really expect an airline to positive space you to get a job?
Really dude?
I was going with that in terms of flying out to an interview. Travel to an interview can be expected to be positive space, but a job fair is of course on your own kinda thing.
Derg is correct, my company does not provide positive space for a job fair, and as of late 2011/early 2012 when I interviewed they only offered a space available pass to interview. Not positive. So Derg is correct, they didn't and it's not even close.
I echo the sentiments of hacker above about
@Derg and jetcareers being an invaluable source/site for the aviation field. Coming up on 15 years here, I'm greatful for all the help and information available.
The only thing is some guys aren't fans of job fair type programs for the various reasons listed above and in other threads. But to Delta's credit, if they are having one that is free of charge, then that is positive. The cost of attendance itself is covered, leaving flights/hotel/food as the other expenses.
