Cam youre a check airman correct? I would say yes its worthwhile to go. Your resume (and probably your social interaction) gets "scored" at OBAP, and depending on that score, that could get you an interview. It really depends on if you think your resume is so strong that you'll get that nod that will get them to go pull your application when they go back to the office down the road in ATL.
With that being said I'm a huge fan of these conventions and job fairs (and it is because OBAP is specifically holding a "career fair" portion) for the networking and chance to support great organizations that make a big difference in aviation. It paid off for me at Women in Aviation this year as I got the invite 4 days after meeting with the head of pilot selection, and I hope it pays off for you too. Remember, when it does, please help support those organizations moving forward to keep the door open for others to follow. Here's to a very bright future!
