All of the interviews I had scheduled and went to before this absolute latest downturn, even when those who would take their CMEL during their airline SIC ride, needed to have MEL currency. Most places wanted 10 or more hours in MELs in the last 6 months, some wanted (and weren't getting) 100 MEL in the last 6 months. If nothing else, the day before your interview, go up and do three touch-n-go's so you can say you're multi "current."
