how does one get a job as an F/O on it?
Join the Russian Air Force. If you survive that, a rewarding civillian career awaits; flying into the world's 'interesting' places for crap money, lousy accomodation (or sleeping in the back of the aircraft) and a long time away from your family and friends. All the instruments are in Cyrillic so brush up on your Russian and best unintelligible Ukrainian gravelly accent for radio transmissions. If ATC can understand a word you say, you're just not trying hard enough
.
Impressive aircraft, though. Possibly worth it...Actually, I thought an AN-225 had come to YBBN once, in the early nineties. AN-124s are reasonably common, maybe three a year.
