Hey Greenleaf,
No I asked at the interview at CPZ when they hired me if they recommend getting current in a single engine etc. The interviewer said they had a couple pilots in my situation and they did fine.
I was pretty excited to come back and took the training very seriously. I did a lot better than current pilots coming from flight instructing / piston - my sim partner did fly the 175 at Republic so that helped. You fly the plane 95% on the autopilot.
If you have a couple thousand hours in a jet transport, you'll be fine.
Good luck!
