Saw this and considered applying, but pay was low compared to other Flight Check posts they've had. Two questions:

1. Is GS-Level you get (if hired) influenced by military-rank held? IE, if you were a senior mil officer, do you go up a notch or two?

2. Is there a mandatory retirement age?

I also didn't think I had much of a shot as I assumed it would require AK-Bush time, of which I have none.

Interested as to your insights.
