To those who mentioned staying current, a few words of hope.

I had a sim ride on a 737, which I passed, after 18 mths not flying, (I wasn't 737 rated at the time). I was very pleasantly surprised to find that it really was like riding a bike.

I moved back to my old type after three years away and it was like putting on a favourite pair of shoes - very familiar and comfortable. It's amazing how deeply trained the basic skill become.

IMHO, don't waste money paying for sim time unless you have an interview coming up, just use Microsoft Flight Sim once a month to keep familiar with identifiers, frequencies etc.

And good luck to all of us.
