Instrument Current
SkyWest Airlines has: "Be at least instrument current" as part of their online FO requirement. Would someone explain to me exactly what this instrument currency is? Is it just the FAA instrument currency I can get at a local flight school? Also how long is this currency good for? Thanks in advance.

Basically, all regionals are hiring if you show aptitude for instrument flight.

By current they mean FAR currency (six approaches, holding, tracking, or an IPC if needed).
But you will actually want to be proficient unless you want training to be a very uphill battle (likely too uphill).
