A few ACMI’s are the best kept secret in the industry in my opinion. K4, Omni & now WGA

What the hell are you talking about? WGA is owned by the Neff's, nothing owned by the Neff's will be good. WGA is a bottom feeder getting flying nobody else wants to do. You are new to the ACMI world and need to talk less and listen to the guys that have been around the world a few hundred times.

I am a CA at a ACMI airline, and to a point he isn't wrong. I think most people would say ABX likely has the best CBA right now and I think they are on year 10 of their 5 year CBA, and it is light years behind UPS, FEDEX and the 121 Pax Airlines. So the best CBA is still not as good as Spirit let alone one of the big three.

Thank you ACMI Captain Obvious.
This does not make them "bottom feeders," nor those who work for them a lesser species.
