Internal recs are not required, but obviously they help. No official requirement for turbojet, but I think they tend to prefer it when they can. It isnt a no-go item though, so you still have a good shot at things.

I live in BOS and would love love love to get on.
Yes, keep updating your app. It might not be next week, but they will call at some point.
Right now there are relatively few carriers hiring en masse, so jetblue can take a higher percentage of pilots with lots of PIC turbojet, but as things go along they will work their way down to guys with SIC only, or turboprop only time. I was a no PIC, no internal rec, RJ FO when I got the call and there were a bunch of others like me. Good luck.
