As dumb as this sounds, I'd go with your gut. Your gut integrates all the factors in front of you better than any of us will. Plus we're all jaded and have our spin on things. If life goes to hell in a few years, you'll figure something out and land on your feet. Nothing really matters.

Despite the british accent, you're secretly from Texas and drink like a fish.

Probably the best article I’ve seen on the subject...

I have no insight into internal culture, morale, etc, but bottom line up front seems to be
Atlas: international ops (Asia, etc) , 747, 767
ATI: domestic ops (mostly), 767/757, home basing.
I don't believe either are "perfect", nor are any other companies.

The airlines are supposed to start blocking the middle seats because of the corona. I just traveled on AA going to work, there were 25 AA deadheaders on board, 2 jumpseaters in the cockpit and they even left people at the gate. Glad I had a ticket!
Also consider the stress you'll endure working for a company that has a toxic relationship with the pilot group and the morale is low. That stuff will wear on you.
