"All the hiring" means increased hiring at the regionals mainly, and that's about length and breadth of it. The gradual economic recovery has trickled down to the 91/135 level somewhat at this point but it is still pretty slow for the more desirable jobs. Just keep applying to lots of positions, you'll get very sharp at interviewing, and get current somehow. Lack of currency is a deal breaker as silly as it seems for high time pilots. Buy the time, flight instruct, fly skydivers, do anything to get back in flying.
