If you guys want a better CBA next time around, you can't attack the messenger. You guys need to unify. Stan and his cronies love it when you attack your fellow pilots; it means he'll get yet another screaming deal on the backs of your labor.
There are obviously folks on here who are current/former/wannabe Omni management. Realize that these types, particularly the latter, have no spine and should be disregarded.
I second that, nothing Khal has said is inaccurate. ACMI is tough flying with an even tougher quality of life attached to it. Omni offers only minimum assistance for normal logistical day to day non-flying operations. It's that way for 18 days every single month all for 50K a year as an FO or 100K a year as a Captain. I wouldn't say that Omni is better or worse than a regional, I will say that it's just a different kind of "aviation suck." If the ACMI suck sounds better than your current aviation suck then send in your app and hope for the best. If you are on the fence and the grass appears to be a similar shade of brown, you should probably stay where you are at.
