Anyone in their 30's or 40's, even early 50's, who, If given an offer at any of the Majors/Legacy's and, declines it to stay at Kalitta must have a very "special" set of circumstances...If you know what I mean.

I think that "special set of circumstances" is called being happy. A few years back I would have agreed, but now the pay is good, the flying is good, and you can live anywhere without having to stress about getting to work, or deal with the guy in 23A starting a fight with a flight attendant.
If you are all about the money, go to the legacies. It's a no brainer.
