Not sure if anyone has used it yet to get a job there. I would say less than 10 people in the last 5 years have gone to Allegiant, Frontier or JetBlue right from AMF. Not fantastic odds when you consider the size. The majors are all ramping up hiring so guys are leaving Allegiant, JetBlue and similar to bigger and better airlines, so that is opening up opportunities for guys in the cargo world to get into 121 without going regional. Just be realistic and look at how small the percentage of AMF pilots that do make it there are so you don't get false hopes of a guarantee.
That's probably an accurate number just for Allegient, But that was without the flow through and I don't know of any that applied that DIDN'T get hired there. The first guy that I knew personally that went there (he went in May '08) just made captain.
No guarantees in life, be it aviation or anything else. But I would say your odds are good if that is the direction you want to go.
