Looking for some advice: I interviewed March 22nd and was put on the preferential hiring list on March 28th. I received an email from DB on 06/27 telling me that KF would be calling me "soon" about class dates. I still haven't heard a peep. Would it be appropriate to call either DB or KF to try to get an update? I've been waiting for months now, and I really need to start this job soon before my current job kills me.
Thanks for any input.

Not nearly as horrible as the 74! 76 folks should stay away as long as possible! Trips on the 747 take all day long. I'm serious. 22 hour legs in turbulence with no autopilot into a headwind while you scrape ice off of the windshield with one hand holding frozen coffee in the other steering the jet with your chin.
Stay away!
Horrible!

Unfortunately, you have had an early introduction to the dysfunctional world that is Atlas Air. While it's not all bad, we have been trying to present the good and the bad things about working at Atlas. Falling between the cracks is one of the many bad things, but it's not nearly the worst.
Call them up and politely remind them that you are waiting for a class date. Work hard in ground school with your classmates (cooperate to graduate) and update your applications at the majors. I hope your time here goes more smoothly than it has so far. I also hope your stay is as brief as you want.

If you didn't get the email to reapply, I would definitely email DB and/or KF and ask if you may have fallen through the cracks.

12-13 hour legs crossing several time zones is hard on the body. Do it for a career and it probably will shorten your life slightly.
It sure seems like we do more night vs day.

No, there are still plenty of regional pilots with more than twice the hours you posted, waiting to get in. I haven't seen anyone with your published times get an interview.
