Allegiant and RJET's business models could not be further apart on the airline spectrum. Allegiant has no codeshare partners and very good revenue and liquidity. It pays for it's own fuel, sells its own tickets and controls its own destiny. The one correlation is that RJET went to war with its pilots and, at least until recently, Allegiant seemed to be doing the same. There is some cautious optimism that things are perhaps changing, but that remains to be seen.
What point, exactly, are you trying to make here?
I think FirstClass is trying to say that mainline will have to hire so many pilots in the next 5 years that there will be none left for the LCCs (to include Allegiant). I personally don't think this is true. I think it will force carriers to raise pay to attract pilots.
