I'd say K4 and GT are the "go to" places at the moment; which is funny because 5 years ago it was the other way around. Just goes to show you how fickle this industry can be.
The recent acquisition of A330 feedstock by the parent company would indicate A330s are in the future for all 3 airline units, but nothing definitive has been presented (and rumors indicate that they've been shopping those frames to outside parties).
I'm not a betting man, but there are probably odds on it ebbing/flowing back towards ATI/ABX/Omni (from a pilot standpoint) - I just don't know if they're good odds.
