I have a ton of experience as FO, just won't have any recent landings or TOs except for the sim.
Anyone has any experience when it comes to that?

This would be my absolute dream retirement gig. Babysit the plane in cruise, nice layovers, fly the sim when needed, travel with my wife. Finally punch the childhood dream of flying at a major.
I hope in 5-6 years they're short pilots enough to hire Americans, I live 60 minutes from YUL and Montreal is the closest major city. Problem is by the time I retire from CBP, I won't have flown a jet in like 10 years. Doubt they're gonna be too stoked on 4,000 hours of VFR Astar time. Oh well.
