It seems to me that you are more than qualified. Like many have said, just get current, fly some instrument procedures, and come to training with an open mind. Most of the guys who didn't hack it with thousands of hours did so because they were stubborn and hard-headed from their previous airline experiences and thus were "untrainable." Like they say, you can't teach an old dog new tricks....but you can't teach a stupid dog new tricks either. Just come as prepared as possible, and if you have any questions, feel free to PM any one of us an we'd be happy to help.
