Could you interview and and work for another airline (not that there are many left, if any to choose from)?

Recency and currency only count for the day you interview. In my case, I was stuck in a desk job for my last two years in the military. SWA was kind enough to interview me a full year before my date of availability while I still (just barely) held the recency minimums. If you have been offered a job and are in the pool, I think you are OK if you are not currently flying. When I showed up for training, it had been almost 2 years since I last flew.
