I see the requirement for internal recommendations starting to fade as more and more pilots run out of people they want to recommend. 3000 TT was the published min but several recent new hires have had less. Keep in mind, if hired you will be entering this company during the darkest period in its history.

New hires will very quickly have to stand and be counted. The strike vote is coming. My guess; Probably no later than the end of this year.

I checked website and they were not advertising pilot positions. I understand it maybe not the best company right now to fly for, but i have no college degree, live about 20 minutes from SFB, and do not want to commute. I currently fly charter and basically have no schedule with minimum days off.

There's a reason why you have no schedule with minimum days off. Stop trying to take short cuts in life. You're not only selling yourself out but, you are selling the industry out. Next thing you know you're going to see shiny new 737's thrown at kids with GED's who are willing to fly for minimum wage. Go to college.
The big colleges make a lot of money convincing people they need an expensive degree to be successful in life. Not necessarily a necessity in this industry anymore.
Thousands of flight hours with hundreds of close calls under your belt is worth more than a degree in social sociology, and can't be earned online.
I understand that some people need to rationalize to justify their monthly payment to Sallie Mae for that precious piece of paper.

Under the current conditions why would anyone WANT to work for Allegiant? My prediction: within 5 years there will be such an attrition rate to the Majors that Allegiant will be paying signing bonuses in a last ditch effort to stay afloat due to staffing issues just as some of the Regionals are doing now.
Ironically major gains in pay & work rules as a result of a strike may be the only thing that saves Allegiant in the end.
