If you have a look at the discovery channel series 'dangerous flights' you'll get a look at the life of a ferry pilot. It's up to about episode 9 now of the first series, give you a good understanding of some of the stuff Mach E is talking about. As with most discovery stuff though you have to sift through a lot of added on drama though.
If you're in oz, Clamback and Hennessy at Bankstown used to give their students and instructors the chance to go along on ferry flights (and eventually do them if you worked there). I know a few guys who have gone along on ferries from the US to oz. That probably only applies if you were a student though I'm afraid.
