which is also why our reserve call out should at least allow those that "live in base" to drive while on reserve. Our callout time is 90 min compared to most places that are at least 2 hours. They really need to match the two...either make the reserve show time 2-3 hours or drop the 130 miles to 60 or 90.

Does anyone know how Atlas weighs job fair attendance? I am a regional FO who would love to work for Atlas. I've been sending in my resume religiously, but so far no bites. I'm planning on going to the FAPA job fair on January 23rd, which Atlas is attending. Has anyone been gotten the call after attending a job fair?

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.
