Gotcha. True, it won't. If there is one thing I have learned through my own process, none of these companies work on specific timelines. They will call when they want to, email when they want and so on. It's very frustrating and there were many days I almost lost my mind, gave up and then an email would show up. This was not just allegiant but every company I dealt with. It's hard to remeber we are not their only applicant for the only position listed. HR runs the process and they are hiring IT folks, customer service reps and pilots. Long story short, be patient and good things will come.

I believe there is a $500/month override if your based in Hawaii.
I wouldn't count on the 757 though, they just hired a bunch of new hires into it and staffing on it looks adequate. They are also parking 1 of them later this year and will probably seat lock candidates on it (they will not let them upgrade on anything else since it involves buying you a new type rating). Yes, the seat lock also applies going from FO to CA, as a lot of people are finding out the hard way.
Combine that with a shrinking fleet and a 4-5 year upgrade on the 757 I don't see much more movement on that aircraft. There are also running rumors that the HNL base will be closing next year as well.
Stay flexible!

Just curious. What's the probability of Airbus vs. Maddog fleet for a newhire? Is it largely base dependent? I know a lot of Airbus aircraft are on the way.

Again, once your awarded something, that's it, you're locked. So if your one of the many DHL guys that lives in the greater CVG area and you get say, PIE MD-80? Your SOL sorry. (CVG being an AB only base)

Anyone have any info on the Philadelphia meet and greet for tomorrow? I went to the website under careers and it shows that the open house will be at the Philly Marriott, but down below under the details it still has info for the Chicago open house in July. Is the open house still on for tomorrow? Thanks for any info.

Probably 50/50, the problem is there is really no way to tell until you show up in class. Even then, the numbers change. So for example you show up day 1 (20 people in class) and they say, okay "10 AB and 10 MD." Then you put in your bids and two weeks later, "never mind it's 15 MD and 5 AB." Then finally, one week before starting systems you get your final bid award.
Again, once your awarded something, that's it, you're locked. So if your one of the many DHL guys that lives in the greater CVG area and you get say, PIE MD-80? Your SOL sorry. (CVG being an AB only base)
