As far as I know, Atlas views pilots who make the effort to attend a job fair very favorably. They have even gone as far as using the brief meet/greet as a sort of phone interview substitute followed by giving out an invite for the online test (this was for a furloughed 10k+ hour heavy jet pilot).
If you do go, prepare yourself by being able to speak intelligently about Atlas and their operation. Also, be prepared to convince them that Atlas will be your last airline. They are concentrating efforts on candidates who are likely to NOT flee to the majors in a year.
Good luck.
