I'm a ex-C-17 dude with over 1000 PIC and 2500 total. I'm 5 years non-current, got picked up by SkyWest and am about to enter into IOE, which will get me about 50 hrs of 121 flying in the E175. I'm trying to determine when to have one of my internal references send in a rec to HR. If that floats my app to the top for another look I don't want to score to low and waste the opportunity and have to wait another year. Delta is where I want to be.
First off, once HR sees the C17 time the next sound will be their panties hitting the floor.
I suspect that if your app shows you have completed training and are flying the line, that will alleviate any recency concerns. If you really want to dot your i's, you could wait till 100 hours, that seems to be the generally accepted definition of currency. I don't think you need to though.
