Best advice I got was to apply immediately even if mins aren't met, update regularly, and then once mins are met make SURE the application is 100% squared away. Drop recommendations, get interview prep and resume review done, etc., as soon as you meet the mins. That way the first time they really take a good look at your application it's tight and they can also see that you've been applying for a while.

Maybe it's not good advice, but it sure as heck seemed to work for me. I applied to lots of places when I had zero recency even though I knew I didn't meet requirements. As soon as I had one year of 121 flying to update my recency I updated my resumes, got my friends to send in recommendations, and I got a couple interviews within a few months. I think that ought to work for most people especially if they meet various milestones like upgrading and building PIC time, getting ckamn or chief pilot quals, etc.
