And honestly, if they are not current on everything, the street is where they should stay. There have been a lot of people stuck in CFI positions that have been paying their dues. Just sayn'. I have a feeling it will be high...somewhere around 200-500 ME depending on the airline. TT somewhere in the ball park of 1000-1500. Just look at what Eagle has now. That should be a good indication.
I know it sucks to be stuck as a CFI when guys you know went to the regionals, but I've been furloughed twice now and I'd venture to say I would have rather been continously employed as an instructor. I guess the grass is always greener.
As for the original topic, probably 1500 and 500 for awhile and will probably go down once the backlog starts to clear out in a year or two of solid hiring.

Wow, is your name chuck by any chance. I bet this guy can fly the **** out of a 172. And don't worry XXXX airline, i'm a pro at turns around a point so you are covered there.
What everyone else is saying is correct. A prior 121 guy will always have a leg up no matter what. He has passed 121 training before and will probably do it again with ease. I will bet it will take a couple years to get the furloughed guys back so you better get comfy or meet some people who can get you into an interview.
BTW, telling people that guys on the street is where they should stay will probably not make you too many friends to walk in your resume. Don't bother sending it to me for one.

Just to mix up the pot a bit (and not trying to take sides), which to you think has a better chance: a furloughed, non-current pilot with 700 hr TT, SIC typed but sat reserve so little time it type vs. a current 1500hr MEI with a couple hundred multi ready to take an ATP check. Just curious what everyone thinks....

When Eagle started hiring, didn't they have a requirement about having a flying job for the past 12 months? Not sure if that was a requirement or a preference. If it was a requirement, that would really be bad for a 121er on the street with couple hundred turbine time.
