You may have shot yourself in the foot if the 3-month guy is on here. Nice work.
It's not a pilot hiring booth? Well, I sure have to say that that is strange considering that it's a booth at a pilot hiring career fair. And what questions can dispatchers and mechanics answer about working at Allegiant as a pilot?? I can tell you the answer to that, not much. I went to the booth at sun n fun and asked them several questions related to flying and the company and they continually just said that they had no idea. What's the point?
And for what it's worth, every other airline sends pilots alongside of HR to these events.
