While Omni would appear to be more than adequately equipped to serve the LCC-esque vacation charters, I'd venture to guess they'd have a difficult time competing with the likes of Allegiant who already have developed name recognition, and who have fewer seats to fill on their 757s and MD-80s (yes, I'm aware Omni operates a 757 and several 767s as well).
