Ironically dude, you are right. A lot of more qualified people are losing out to no experience CFIs because they are not current. A furloughed pilot has a shelf life of about 6 months, 1 for some airlines, before they expire and have to wait for a recall. I'm with the others though, there is no comparison between a CFI and a guy with airline experience, even with no currency. It's night and day. An RJ is a little different than a 172.
