Well, it seems like you are on track. Your times would have met the minimums at many airlines when they were in hiring mode recently.

Have you given much thought on how to get current? One idea I have is to take the ATP Instructor Course. It's a 14 day program that will include a lot of class time reviewing all sorts of things you'll be asked on an interview. And you will also get flight time and you could re-instate your CFI with the FAA at the end of the course. I'm not sure if you need to be current to attend the course--I would think that you would have to, but you should give ATP a call if this sounds interesting to you and they may be able to work something out.

I instructed in Las Vegas and we helped a few people through the CFI program who were trying to reinstate their CFI and get back up to speed.

Otherwise you could begin a lot of self-study and find an instructor to do a BFR, IPC, etc.

Let me know if I can help!
