If you got a couple hundred bucks laying around, and want to get your head back in the game of flying, that's understandable.
One of the nice things about flying 121 is you don't need BFR's. The company takes care of that with recurrent.
Your license is yours, unless the FAA revokes it.
CURRENCY is the company's problem, and whether you show up to training with a fresh BFR flying a 152 around the patch will make no difference in your training @ Comair.
Hypothetical; in the part 91 world, if you let your BFR lapse, you have to go up with an FAA D.E. for a ride...isn't that what your checkride is?
If you applied at other airlines during furlough, ya...you'd better have everything up to snuff regarding currency.
..but,I remember hearing about guys/gals furloughed at the majors in the past who hadn't flown in years during their furlough. The company had to get them back up to speed.
...just my $.02
