Jetblue just opened the flood gates. They have posted for First Officers. Please encourage some of those lazy "Captains" around here to apply. Who knows, they might get hired and finally get out of here. If you're considering for yourself, competitive requirements are 3000 tt, 1000 pic turbine/121, and recency. Good luck y'all.
Oh, and letters from 3 pilots as character/personal references. That knocks off at least half of you guys

I believe that is incorrect. On Mainline DAL flights, DAL active pilots board first, then XJ, CZ and Comair active pilots board based on DOH before DAL retirees and buddy pass riders. At least that is the way it is done at all places I have been to and according to the memo we received.
DAL retirees board after active WO pilots. Non WO DCI active pilots board after that except SkyWest pilots board at same priority as WO pilots. On Mesaba, CZ, and Comair flights, both DAL and WO active pilots board first based on DOH. After that Non WO DCI active pilots and retirees board next.

We need to make a flyer and distribute it to all the lazy captains
Not sure how to do it since I'm furloughed and they will kick me off the property if I try to do so.

Per our memo, on mainline DAL flights not all DCIs board at the same priority. WO board before non WO DCIs. Also DAL retirees do not board before active WO pilots. I could be wrong but that is how it is done at most gates I've been to.

Are you sure about this? I do not remember seeing this memo. Despite what order the standby list shows, if you go to the airport standby list you will see a different story. The retirees jump ahead of us in priority. It is always hard to tell what exactly is being done at the gate but you can confirm my theory by checking the airport standby list after your flight and seeing that the retiree got the last business class seat on the 13 hour international flight while you ride in the back.

I have an idea about that.
We all have the seniority list somewhere. Each and everyone of us still has a Comair email. Usually it is (first initial)(last name)@comair.com......So, we email a link to JetBlue's job page to all those middle of the road guys. Those upper 30s to 50y.o. that have been around for at least 10 years, and have all the requirements.
Just a thought........

Surprised management hasn't tried that to get rid of the senior guys.
