Initially you'll make much more at WG.

Flying freight in the 777 would be the best job on the planet.

^ yep. Not going be an option for everyone, but that should be what every young person who goes to Atlas/Southern or WGA should have their sights set on.

I have talked to two individuals who want to leave Atlas for here Western. Not sure if they in reality left Atlas yet and made it on the list here.
I haven’t heard of anyone wanting-to or know of anyone leaving WGA for Atlas. Kallita yes and the “Big-6” but not Atlas.

Basically depends on how long you plan to stay, AFAICT.

If you're going to be around for a while, Atlas might be worth the early years of suck for the Someday Contract.

If you're just trying to punch your long haul ticket in the hopes that it will induce the big 6 to look at you, I would give the edge to WG.

Naturally, I would give Kalitta or Omni the edge over either, but no doubt you've considered that.

I would pick the airline that isn’t making the headlines for the wrong reasons.
