10 hand-carried rec's from guys who flew with you
Previous Air Force One experience "desired" but not required. IP time in C-5, C-17, KC-135 is acceptable substitute. IP time in bomber/attack aircraft also desired. Civilian equivalent is 500 hours PIC in International, Flat Panel turbine aircraft such as Global Express or G-5, with 300 hours PIC for every 100 hours PIC military.
A guy with 2000 hours PIC C-17 will get the same "points" on the FedEx computer as a guy with 6000 hours PIC in a G-5 under "Flight Experience" section.
If you have these, apply for interview. Get interview. Pass the gotten-interview. Pass the psych test. Pass the sim. All of above goes into a packet for "final review" by CP and HR

At least I update my profile every month, not sure why though.

Dude, we got no idea. Everything, and I mean everything, is now handled by those that I call "handler's" -- mostly lawyers and PR types. Everything the SCP puts out is vetted by corporate shysters and wordsmithed by a PR firm outta NY. None of us line types know the how's or why's to hiring because the company doesn't want us to know.
The best way to get "insight" would be to show up on day 1 of Indoc and ask the survivors.

Clutch,
That is the funniest thing I've read out here in years. Funny, sad, and kind of true. My great uncle flew with Ernie - but alas - I think it might be hard to get a rec from him these days.
Thanks for the laugh.

Also, scoring matrix gives a higher score for prior Part 121 supplemental cargo time as Captain in a B747 to international destinations than a Captain in a Hawker for FraxExpress.
