How soon could one get Sanford once hired?

Depends where you sit seniority wise in class. I think it's been a 50/50 split for SFB and LAS during class. Worst case, a month or two.

What's the Reno base like? # of crews? airplanes? All charters I presume?

3 crews, 1 airplane. 99.9% Harrah's charter with some last minute LAS fill ins. Most go to RNO and stay there until upgrade.

Now that we have established that Allegiant has a great schedule for those that value family life.
...How is the health insurance for spouse and kid(s).
Does the company pay it all? If not, how much is it?

Reno is very senior and there are pilots waiting to be based there. I would say it will be nearly impossible to hold any time soon as a new hire.

Health benefits are additional thru Aetna, typical rates. I am single no dependents and I think it is $100 or so a month. They also have vision, dental, etc.

PIE Senority

PIE is very junior, however it is also very new. It started in late Nov. The problem with our airline is that just like many airlines we open and close bases with little or no warning. We had a DEN base that closed right before I was hired, they then opened up SFB.
I have been told the flying out of PIE has been fruitful with good load factor etc. Just keep in mind that our management changes it's mind a lot. They do whatever they think can make them $. Which is why I still have a job so I don't mind!!
A few months ago they were going to grow SFB to almost the size of LAS. Now it looks like SFB will grow a little along with LAS and PIE. They used to talk about a base in RFD a lot, now that idea is pretty much off the table. They aso have been talking about a CUN base again. To be sure I would say LAS is always going to be a large base, other than that I would not hold your breath

Any clue how many pilots are being hired now on a per month average?

We don't run a class a month on average. Class size varies by need. 24 in Jan, 12 or so in Feb...

I think we are pretty unpredictable as far as this topic. I think the feb class of 8 was originally supposed to be a march class of 10. Unless we are also still having the march class. I think it has a lot to do with fuel prices and probably 100 other factors.
