@Cliffatp: difference with Atlas is that at Atlas you need to travel to your base before start of your days-on to sit reserve, for which you also get imputed tax income. First year at WGA should be a big improvement over Atlas if you cannot get based in the city where you live: travel on on-days, no imputed tax, if you are not needed, you stay home longer. Training pay is a lot higher, first year pay is a lot higher.
