I've got a commercial ticket and a HS-25 type rating, 2100h total with about 1000h of Hawker time. I'm thinking of paying for an upgrade course at Simcom, as that would include 16h in the sim, which I really need to brush up. Top that off with an ATP checkride, and I'll end up current in the hawker, with an ATP. What do you guys think of the plan?
Since its been about 7 years since you have flown I would say you need to get a little actual air time. You will also need a BFR and IPC. I'm not sure if the upgrade at SimCom will include that. Maybe do 10 or so hours in a light twin then consider the Sim course.
