Not much of a problem. I was in a similar situation to you a few years ago and it worked out for me (I was in the AF). I couldn't stand the thought of being a bandit although I was already "hired" by a couple of old bosses I'd worked with.

Currency is important to most companies. But you can get current with all of your tickets. And unless you've been a complete mean boss, there won't be guys out there preventing you from getting hired with their company.

Regionals are hiring many guys with close to no time--- and you can go that route if you can't get current other ways. I flew charter citations for a while to get my currency up --- actually before I retired.

If you want to fly in the future, you can.
