Default Allegiant Application turned down

Hi,
I submitted the online application for Allegiant Air 2 days ago and this morning received an email notifying me to apply again in 6 months. I meet all the requirements as listed on their website. I have 5,700 total time, 2,600 PIC turbine, 800 SIC jet from my previous 121 (B737).

Now here's what I'm thinking may be the major reason: recency. I've been out of the cockpit for over a decade (had to leave work to take care of my son and his health issues). So 1.) I have no recency (except for a little recreational GA) and 2.) I'm a lot older (44).

My ultimate goal is to get on with Allegiant and based out of BLI. If recency is the main reason for my rejection at this point, would it be best to get back into the commuters to build time (uhg)? Or would any time work, ie: local island hopping, corporate ops (mostly light twins).

Any thoughts, opinions?
Thanks!
