you’ll be flying a sim during training so the sim environment might be better once you do a couple currency flights in an actual plane
Who logs sim time? No. Read FAR 61.51 in terms of logging sim time. Red bird time outside of maybe working with an instructor towards an instrument training should never be logged, and certainly not as actual flight time. Your currency would still be zero hours of flight time in the last 12 months.
A redbird is just a fancy desktop sim, and not a real certified full motion sim.
Apply and see what happens. Fly what you can. There are jobs that will hire you, but they may not be very good jobs. There are regionals that will hire with zero currency.
