I would guess the same strigent qualifactions to take that flight to "Homey Airport". It's compartmentalized. The pilots probably never leave the
immediate proximity of the aircraft, might have a lounge with no windows. They probably ignore all but what is important to their jobs.
The pilots that get considered are usually Airforce, as JANET is owned by The Department of the Airforce. Its vetting process is likely similar to
those considered for NASA.
It operates like a regional airline, just owned by the government. Its destinations read like any other regional airline. Flies to Palmdale, China
Lake, Edwards, Peterson, Wright-Patterson, White Sands, Salt Lake City, amd several others.
I'd imagine it's like working for any other classified job. Its not so much a loss of rights as much as a gaining of privillege that requires a
certain amount of keeping your trap shut.

I've flown the approach on the old FSX. "Pyramid approach" it was called. A slam dunk if there ever was one. There was a "fast mover" that passed you
on final and hovered over the tarmac. And then one blasted away leaving a glowing green diamond behind.
