Joining the club. I am in the same boat here...

3500 Total FW
2800 Turbine FW
1650 TPIC
B737 type
Part-121 and ex mil
(only 25 hours of light recip in the last 2 years)

But...I haven't flown professionally since 2005 (regional airline, post military). Would love to go back to flying real aircraft for a living but the rub is the paycheck reality. Make good money now and even with an offer from the highest paid major/legacy, it would take me 3-5 years to earn what I do now.
Having said all that, I still want to do it as I have 20+ years left before I would have to retire from 121 flying.

The hard part is, I will basically bankrupt myself if I go back to a regional to get real currency. So....I will take an opportunity to go fly pert time in King Airs to get current and see what happens (have a King Air type also). Hope the recent King Air time will be regarded as good enough for an interview.
