Do you have to solo to get current?

Certainly not. I think the regs clearly indicate both pilots would have to
medicals and BFRs.

Still Pilot B could have a medical and a BFR and have not flown a
powered aircraft in 10 years. Actually in your scenerio so could pilot
A.

In fact a know a few pilots that could easily qualify for this by
simply going down and getting their medical. They probably have a 1000
hrs of glider time in that last ten years.

I think that is the point of the 90 day currency. Is that to take any
person in the aircraft with you must be current in that category of
aircraft.

I'm not up to speed on how a BFR in a sailplane could relate to powered
flight, but if it does I'm not trying to argue that point. Nor am I arguing
the need for currency.
