Depends who you ask... If I was stuck at a regional, and my apps was out to every LCC/Major, with no calls. Then I would do it. We spend a large amount of money for our education, an extra $100 is a small price to pay to help my chances to move up in my career.

I'll give the OP the benefit of the doubt and assume he bought the ticket because there was a company in attendance that he/she was interested in or for the greater networking opportunity. But what a soul-sucking experience these "job fairs" can be! I went to one and that was enough. Usually the only winner is the guy who put the thing together. I would suggest that something like WAI or OBAP are far more fun and more useful because they are more like a convention where you have a greater chance to enjoy yourself, break the ice and interact with a recruiter in a meaningful way. At these one-day cattle calls you mainly just stand around and awkwardly swap small talk and business cards with a bunch of guys who all look the same as you until you get your 5-10 minutes of face time with a recruiter.
I don't condone the idea...but if you DO call in sick, for the love of GAWD, do NOT jumpseat or non-rev to the job fair!

Listen naysayers. Regardless of your opinion, the facts are people who go to job fairs get hired at Spirit and Frontier period. If you want to go to one of these airlines then go to the job fair. Call in sick. But fly a different airline other than your own to get there. The advice on this website is obscene, some of you are morons.
The way you feel about something is irrelevant, all the matters is the facts here.
