Non-current military pilot to Allegiant
Hope you all can help me out?
New to forum.
Former military pilot (48 years old), with over 3,000 hours, turbo-jet and turbo-prop time, lots of ratings, etc, however, I have been non-current and have not flown at all in about two years.
I'm looking to transition into the airlines, but realize not being current will be an issue.
Would Allegiant hire someone who is non-current and not has flown in two years? My goal would be to fly locally out the new base Ft Walton Beach Airport (VPS) as well.
I have other questions about Allegiant insurance for family, etc that I can research on my own, but if you can shed any light on this I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

Military and regional experience has proven to be the perfect recipe for major and legacy

Not current probably wouldn't work... But luckily the regionals are hiring anyone and everyone so I would go there for 6 months, get current and some 121 time. Hiring will pickup again especially for 2019, Allegiant is getting 17 more airbus next year.

Go rent a bonanza with a CFI. one hour, approaches, stalls, etc. Go rent a twin with a CFII/MEI
Do a BFR (new terminology insert here).
Do an Instrument Refresher clinic.
Renew your CFI.
You can get current again in about a week.
For about 650.00 and a weeks work you can get current. 3 takeoffs and landings in 90 days....simple.
