As has been said over and over - if you think the schoolhouse is such a great deal, apply for the postings. They are not being swamped with resumes and they are not turning away otherwise qualified applicants to go with someone who will cost less money.

The only screen that is being applied is whether they will make a good instructor or not, and have no doubt that if they only had one position for two equally qualified applicants (one Capt and one F/O), they would go with the Capt every time.
