"Part 135 CRJ200 Captains - Scottsdale, Arizona
MINIMUM qualifications:
FAA ATP and U.S. military fighter/attack aircraft experience REQUIRED. Must reside in the greater Phoenix area. CRJ type rating and previous executive VIP FAR 135 experience highly preferred.
Several positions available. Start date within 30-60 days."
I know for a fact that the best CRJ200 pilots are the ones who are able to put the pickle in the barrel while simultaneously dodging AA and talking about golf with the VIPs in the back. Oh, and by the way, CAF, Luftwaffe, etc. guys need not apply. U.S. Only! Plus, if you flew the C-5, C-17 etc. you're SOL.
Talk about reducing the number of resumes submitted! One of the craziest ones I've seen yet.

A couple possible reasons...
The job involves flying in hot airspace in sandland or Africa.
The aircraft have had countermeasures added either due the nature of the destinations, the pax, or both.
The company caters to very high-end customers, and wants to use the fighter-pilot thing as a selling point, even if it's totally irrelevant to the actual operations.

I worked for a 135 firm years ago. Got a request for one of our Lear 24's to fly at 50 feet off the deck, 300kts in front of a Navy destroyer 50 miles out at sea to calibrate the ships radar. (repeated runs).
We turned it down.

The owner is probably a former fighter guy with a bent for hiring the same.
Although, I could be wrong.

One of those types of jobs was the L-3 positions flying LearJets for military support missions. They wanted a military tactical flying background and were offering I think $30k/yr in San Diego.
