I talked to Atlas at WAI in March 2013 and didn't receive the invite for the online test until September 2014--18 months later. I thought maybe she didn't like me and I wasn't going to be contacted then, they contacted me. I have no idea how the process works.

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.

This was my exact scenario, although I have a few less hours. Good things can definitely come from a job fair, just be ready to stand out from the other thousands.

If this jumpseat thing holds up I'll be amazed. That's one of the craziest examples of pilot micromanaging in aviation history! Can't ride your own company's jumpseat to work?? That would instantly place us in the bottom of work conditions in the industry. People applying take note.
