But you are not flight current, correct? And you have submitted some applications already?

Keep in mind, the wash out rate is continuing to rise as regionals continue to hire people who are not ready to be there. I was in class with a guy who hadn't flown for 10+ years other than a VFR skydiving job. He was excited to be there and seemed to have the idea that the company would get him back up to speed on instrument flying. They sure put in the hours, but after multiple repeats in the sim and 50-100 hours of IOE they cut him loose.

It's not all about getting a call, make sure you are ready for training. Don't leave it to the company to make the determination if you are ready! In their desperation they will hire you anyway and just fire you later if you aren't keeping up!
