I’m not disagreeing with you, but genuinely curious why Allegiant is at the bottom...
Also, ACMI carriers seem to be a pretty low quality of life from everything I’ve read on the cargo-side of this forum.

Currently, you may be able to go directly to an ACMI carrier. In future, it will be much easier to go directly to the LCCs ("Low Cost Majors), or ACMI.
There is also the option of going to -135/charter/fractional directly.
Everyone is different, and everyone's path will be different.
Note: My opinion is that Allegiant is the least desirable of the LCCs.

If you go to a regional with a Flow Through, that is the most certain path to get to a major (except currently, ONLY AA has flow through, with Envoy/Piedmont/PSA).
