PorcoRosso,
That German pilot must have went along for the ride. Most places look for a lot of hours and experience for trans-Atlantic. Generally, its retired airline pilots who do it. I asked about it a few months ago, and my 700hr CPL/IR didn't even qualify me as a possible co-pilot!
Talk to a few dealers/brokers. They might be able to give you a job. Also, try any aircraft manufacturers in your area.
In the US, Cessna wanted a minimum of 500hrs CPL/IR for delivering single engine aircraft within the US. For any kind of turbine/multi engine, they wanted a minimum of 2500hr CPL/IR, with lots of experience in type.
Good Luck!
