Potato Chip has the best answer in here. I've never been offered a job that awesome, but I have been tasked multiple times to start up Flight Departments. Here we are again with the 'who you know' and not the 'what you know'.

I think this is an amazing opportunity for anyone, so take it. Own it. Do what potatochip said, and just make it work. In this kind of flying you'll have tons of free time for research. While nothing even remotely like flying a 737, I have set up flight departments, acquired aircraft and started flying them *safely* at zero time. Maybe it's a good thing it's a plane that requires a type rating.
