Omni will have a new contract long, long before Atlas.
Regionals are paying bonuses higher than you will earn for an entire year at Atlas. And the upgrade time is much, much faster.
Current Atlas pilots are trying to bail out as fast as humanely possible! There is a reason for that. The place sucks because of current management.
Why is anyone coming to Altas?
Because K4 and even WGA won't hire someone with 2000hrs or less and no PIC time, Atlas will and there are still a handful of people out there willing to fly for just about nothing if it means getting to take a 747 all around the world. I wouldn't do it and wouldn't recommend it to anyone, however as someone with only a little over 2000hrs I have to admit that it was tempting not long ago until I did more research.
