Sun Country may be in a similar situation right now.
This is completely inaccurate. Allegiant is not currently hiring, but until recently the average new hire was 6000+TT, and 3000 TPIC, with a four year degree. A lot of former expressjet captains. The complete pilot hiring stats are given to the pilot group every two weeks, maybe the guys you talked to are poorly informed. The Allegiant contract is still superior to other LCCs not counting the new spirit TA.
