Hi,
I spent last two days at above show and it proved pretty useful for me. Over those two days I managed to speak to 3 different airlines and two chief pilots...unfortunately outlook doesn’t look great.
Has anyone used this show as job-hunting venue?
Cheers

Hi there, you must be trade then, because you cant get in until the weekend unless your trade?
But my answer to your question, is well i am going this weekend and i think i will have a scout around "job hunting" the venue as well as other things.
Did you enjoy it by the way?
Rregards
TWW :)

Yes I am trade. It was good show, I had a go on few sims and sat in few nice cockpits but I'd rather be there as pilot not sales rep :(

Maybe you won't. How many of us dream of the office in the sky but settle for less, i would suggest more have settled for less than have got the gear up, flaps up, feet up job. i have had to settle for flight ops & some PPL flying.
There were some OAT bods there today - I was watching from the bombardier stand with some clients (having just come off the Global...) as they were turned away..."sorry, no you can't look around our aircraft..."
