Hello all,

First time poster here, so please forgive me if I make any forum etiquette snafus. What a great forum...thanks to all of you for all of the pearls of wisdom. If I could get a few more pearls, it would be greatly appreciated.

I just retired after a 21 year Navy career. Started off as a back-seater, so my flight numbers are not where most are after 2 decades (1700TT/870TPIC without military sortie adjustment). Unfortunately, I'm not at all current since I've done War College, a joint tour, and then an executive job flying a desk. It's been about 7 years.

Questions:
1) Will a regional hire me with zero currency and provide the currency during training?
2) Since I have <1000TPIC but I'm pretty close, are regionals the right choice for me if the majors are the end state? What are the requirements WRT flight time to upgrade at a regional?
3) I live in South Carolina near GSP (1.5 from CLT/2.5 from ATL). Any recommendations on which regionals I should look at assuming I am prioritizing QOL over money? I've been a long-distance dad for most of my 7 year old's life and want to maximize the time I get with him now that I live in the same city.

Appreciate your guidance and feedback!
