One of my UPT classmates, whose last assignment was flying AF2, separated and had his own business for a couple years(?). When he decided to pursue the majors, he did the Afghanistan MC-12 gig for a brief stint. AA hired him shortly afterwards.

To the OP, there is no magic number. It’s all an algorithm....your military experience helps greatly regarding the lack of recency.
I am in the same boat you are....I went to instruct at the school house for the last 2yrs and lost the recency. Without military background, I’m told around 200-250 hrs in the past year will get my app above the “You’re NOT Worthy” threshold.
Good luck!!

I’m an ex fighter guy too. I took 12 years off to raise my kids. I did go regional to get current and yes, each company jumped to hire me with little recency. Training was not an issue either. Went through with zero issues. I was Stan Eval and not sure if that made a difference but if you buckle down and study how we were training in the military you’ll be just fine! Good luck and see you in the majors soon. Also, stop listening to everyone who say military fails at regional level. They are confusing Helo transfers and fix wing guys. Fix wing mil guys are doing just fine in training.
PM me if you want advise one on one.

What they still do is tack on a service commitment for PCS (permanent change of station)...i.e. MOVING your stuff to a new base.
The rub is that most people who attend new flying training typically move, except when they don't. So attend IP upgrade at your current base? No commitment. Move to a completely new base to attend T-6 training with follow on assignment? PCS commitment.
I ops tested this..attended 3 different initial qual courses in 2 years..no commitments..retirement approved.

Gents, good insight and that's what I need. Not flying wasn't a matter of not liking/not being "good" but rather lifestyle choice that served my family well as we decided to finish out a 20 year career. Apps are in progress!
