Lou Smith is legit. He was in the Air Force with my brother and they later flew at Hughes and Northwest together.

USUALLY showing up at these job fairs allow the recruiters to put a face to a name and assuming you aren't out to lunch, you get a leg up on upcoming interviews.

The reason I say usually is that if the airlines aren't hiring, then it could be a while before you get an interview. Nevertheless, it's better to show these recruiters who you are versus an application stacked amongst the thousands of other applications.

They do appreciate the effort pilots put into coming to these job fairs.

Say hi to Judy Tarver for me if you go. And if you have any further questions don't hesitate to pm me.
