Do I need IFR Currency/4500+ TT; Competitive?
I am wondering if I need to have recent instrument and night time to be considered for DAL specifically, and all the majors in general. I flew plenty of instruments in my last military flying job, and a little in a 172 just before I retired, but none in the last 2 years. Other times:
4500+ TT (mostly fighter and T-38 time)
3000+ Turbine
2300+ PIC
1800+ IP
500+ in last year, 1100+ in last 24 months
ATP, B737TR, CFI, CFII, MEI, AGI, A&P
Oh, and I'm also working on a PhD as far as education goes.
But no IFR time in 24 months. And no internal recommendations.
Should I get IFR recurrent in order to be considered competitive? How long might I have to wait for an interview? Am I even in the running?

I retired 2 years ago. I now fly nearly every day. That 500+ a year is in my current civilian gig. I know I'm getting enough total and PIC time, I'm mainly looking for detail on how much current instrument time is Required.
Thanks for the input on CAP. Great organization. Been involved (off and on…currently off) since I was a kid.
