Default What to ask the recruiters?

As I am about to start meeting with regional recruiters, what are the pertinent questions I should ask?

You should interview them. Ask them why you should work at their airline.

I interviewed last week with a regional. Ask about anything you legitimately have questions about and isn't readily available via Google. Here are the follow ups I went with:

Is it reasonable to expect ERJ-175's out of DFW for new hires? Yes, generally picking domicile for new hires and most go 175.
Reserve time estimate? 0-3 months for 175's, 3-6 months for 145's, up to 9 months for CRJ-700's
Effect of the shortage on the average pilot? Quicker flow
How is performance evaluated? Captain inputs a grade from 1-5 on various traits for your first year.
How did you get your start, why do you stay? Long story, then basically for the flow vs. swapping airlines.

What makes you qualified to recruit airline pilots? This wouldn't be an entry level HR position, would it?
