Will my 750hrs SEL qualify me?

A few years ago I was flying a G-V with a friend who called me when he needed vacation or other fill-in stuff. His airplane was formerly owned by Wynn Casinos, and was painted in the distinctive cream and navy blue pattern they have used for all of their airplanes. We were directed to parking on the remote area on the west side, and found ourselves parked next to two other identical paint jobs. By coincidence the casino's old G-III and G-IV, both of which had been sold to other owners, were in Sun Valley during the week we were there. Turns out the big car show was being held that weekend, so lots of bizjets were there.
 
When you apply for a job like that, you are expected to already know their requirements, about how much they fly, and the destinations. In fact you probably show know their tail numbers. Heck you can get 'em in the comfort of your own phone.

You don't have to be a pilot already working for them....(though a friend of mine is just that).

Other than (d), I can easily satisfy all the other requirements, based on many years of program management for Very Large Programs (mostly aerospace and FAA) and manager of training.

It's that pesky Commercial & ATP that keeps me from applying...

rats.
