Training time is irrelevant. You are looking at a few years on the line either way, and 121 will get you close to 1000 a year. When I flew 135, you were looking at maybe 500 a year if you were busy.
The major difference between Omni and K4 is pax and cargo. At Omni you have a fairly large crew of FAs to deal with and a hardened cockpit door. At K4 you throw on your pjs and can freely wander around the plane.
As for competitive, that’s a moving target. Right now it’s fairly low, but that could change. I’d start throwing apps out around 3-4K.
