I for one like some of the standards being set by these agencies. But it is the company that is not willing to invest in training that is wanting currency.

I'm pretty sure I always see much more opportunities in these markets. Also, requiring currency does not necessarily mean a company is cheap because they don't want to pay for training. In this market, you don't have to pay for someone's training because there are so many current pilots out there. Probably a lot of LR35 guys too. I see more LR35 jobs out there than anything too. It seams that to get a job in this market you need to take a step backwards but with more credentials. I would pretty much have to get my MEI if I wanted to CFI again for example. All these night freight companies want an ATP now. Couldn't even find work in Alaska. You could get lucky with a lateral move but probably only if you are current. Good luck.
