Can anyone speak to how different airlines view recent flying / currency? I am a military pilot, currently in a non-flying staff billet. I have been doing some recent civilian flying (C172, Travelair) for my ATP and as a civilian instructor. I have heard 100 hours in the last year is a good number but does type of aircraft matter? I have also heard pilots are getting hired without having flown recently. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Ditto, I think the common denominator for hiring without the hours req, from what I have found out through the network, is O-6 and above have been hired. What HR is saying, according to bros on the inside is 100 hrs in complex A/C with in the last 12 months. For DAL and UAL.

Hornet - obviously flying is better than not flying. 100 hrs is a common number that comes up.
There's always outliers. Guys should be shooting for the std deviation cricle and not the outliers. I just spoke with a guy that had barely 100 hrs in the last year. Multiple jet quals, squadron CC, Stan/Eval, IP, etc, etc. You meet the guy and you're impressed. His resume was loaded so having just 100 hrs recent experience wasn't a factor.
A low time guy with only 100 hrs in the last year? IMO that would = ouch. The standard review, that everyone does, even if they're not in HR/recruiting, is 'how does that stack up against his peers and competition'? A 10,000 hr guy, with 4 type ratings, is impressive at age 30 but isn't impressive at age 60.
Good luck.
