I think the hand-picked FAs are just for professional sports teams. It does not apply to college teams, mil charters, or any other charter we have (once I flew a charter for State Farm Insurance to Bermuda, for example--regular FAs).
Same with the Yankees.

They have 2 or more rounds of interviews before the season.

No automatic hold overs. Re-interview every year.

Never seen anyone use a hair dryer or curler in an airplane lav before until we showed up at what we thought was an empty 75 on the ramp at the MAT. Full on makeup/primping circus.
