Prior AF w/ 2500 TT.
2200ish Military Jet Time
2000ish PIC Jet Time
1100 Multi Engine Jet (T37) and 900 Single Engine Jet (F16)

Took a 9 year hiatus from flying to run my own business which I've put on the back burner to return to flying.

Within the last 12 months...

Took the ATP Cert Course and got ATP.
Got a B737 Type.
Have flown about 300 hours, mostly in Single Engine Prop. About 30 Hours in ME Prop. Almost all of this time as an instructor.

My worry is the 9 years away may kill my app? Any feedback on this? I realize jumping into a regional would be a great way to get spun back up and competitive, but would really like to get on with Allegiant if possible as LAS is close, otherwise I'd be a commuter, which is doable, just not preferred.

Thanks for the feedback...
Go to a meet and greet. Plenty of guys have taken multiple year breaks and have been hired. You will be offered an interview and class within 2 weeks. I'm guessing they are trying to fill the Oct 19th class still. After a year or less you will get picked up by SW.
