Last class of 19 had:
6 atlas
2 ABX
2 Emirates
1 Ethiad
1 Alaska
1 Omni
2 corporate
1 Regional (republic)
3 MIL
Though the classes tend to fluctuate with composition, Atlas guys have had good representation over the last couple of years. All of the Middle East guys I've come across were L seat, some were instructors too. Not sure what the current RJ guys are looking like but in the 2015 time frame we were mostly all higher time LCAs with many guys also involved in their safety depts, training/fleet managers, etc.
DAL et als should like your stats, no? Commando will tell you to get on there and don't look back - you could upgrade into an oversized RJ with 1950's tech within a year... I say, whoopiddy-f'in-do, but agree not to hold out for UPS. FedEx? Same job, very similar contract, company a little nicer (on the surface).
OTW I know Atlas is a great ticket to opening more doors but it does come with a cost of being gone more than you might want to be. Your posted stats are competitive at the legacies - perhaps you could go direct vs layover at an ACMI gig and if you really have the bug for brown/purple you can always jump ship...if you dare.
Good luck.

As far as editing the app, do a search and you'll find many different responses. Our HR uses Commodore 64 computers and they just upgraded to Windows 3.0. (I'm kidding ..but not really)
So when you apply have all the documents nearby and be ready to do it all in one session.
If you "save" it to be completed later you might - or you might not - be able to access it again. A friend saved his app and promptly got a "Thank you for your interest but you don't meet our critieria/minimums" message or whatever term they used.
Well, duh, of course he didn't, he'd left out the flight time spreadsheet and was going to fill it out the next day. He wasn't able to log back in and make any changes even when HR tried to reset his application. (a couple of references had contacted the HR). He ended up creating a new app with a new email address.
Good luck to you!

Rumor gaining traction that the next system bid won't happen until early 2018. If true and if I understand this circus correctly, the company has to award that bid before they give any resulting vacancies to additional new hires. So that would suggest no classes for additional newhires (beyond the 300 something under this bid) until Feburary 2018 time frame??

My money is on they bit off more than they could chew in not having the resources to hire as many as needed and now they are finding themselves further behind playing catchup through peak.

It's not as bad as it has been in the past. For a few weeks a couple years ago, crewmembers would get SAT phones to take on the layover in case the balloon went up.

Good luck getting from the layover hotel to ICN. I don't think Mr. Lee will be there to drive you to the airport. He and the rest of Seoul will be bugging out.
