Well maybe I'm just hard nosed, but that's how I'd look at an applicant. I don't expect someone to go fly dozens of hours, but currency (which you can do in less than an hour, 2 for IFR) would be a must.

My point, its not that expensive of an investment, a few hundred dollars at most, to help insure that you get the job you want. I was actually in the same boat as you when I was job hunting last spring. It was hard to get an interview with a decent chunk of recent time. I was at 1700/450 with turbine 135 experience, but it was 2 years old.
