No first class allowed on Express carriers at US so no worries.

It looks bigger in that picture!! More noticeable than the stretched forward fuselage is the rear, with the absence of a few portholes there...And the registration's the same number we saw, so there's no mistaking it...So I guess in this now global-economy, I suppose trans-con can almost be called "Regional," eh?!

Yeah those crosswinds are wicked...Here I am today, thinking that I'll start my base to final turn to 1R just a little early with the winds out of the NE, and they damn near change direction in the matter of a few hundred feet...so what was supposed to be a smooth, squared-transition to short-final was really nothing more than an awkward dog-leg semi-final haha. Always a suprise with the winds down there -- and it sounded like they were testing for tailwind takeoffs, blasting off 19L. How do I get that job?! LoL
Lear and bombardier does do all their flight testing here and the cosswinds here aren't that bad. Bombardier has a position on their website or at least they did for Senior test pilot. I think all you needed was a type rating in at least one of their products which obviously you should qualify. Also check out Hawker Beech Craft they do a lot of testing as well out of ICT and beech field.
Best of luck
