Is this currency usually a hard requirement or one that is looked at in conjunction with other circumstances?

It's hard to say. Some airlines may use it as competitive where others may have drawn the line. If you are in the military it's kind of a different ball game. They know there are limitations to your flying (you can't just go out and pick up a side job or more students, etc) and they know your hours are calculated differently (wheels up.)
so, your best bet is to submit your application and if you happen to know someone on the "inside" have them check on it for you.
You may get some quality feedback...
Good luck!
