How hard is it to get assigned to the C-9 or the Citation Ultra?What airframes are able to transfer to this platform and where are they based?
 
Any pilot with the requisite hours can apply to the C-9. It is competitive by board selection. It is a career killer, but a lot of majors and ltcols try to get it as a farewell tour, since it is definitely a source of quality flt hours for outside employment.

The other fleet support aircraft, such as the C12,20,and 35 are assigned by the monitors. Any pilot can try to get these slots. Again, they aren't good for your career, but they are pretty highly coveted for the multi time they put in logbooks.
 
If you're w/in 4 years of retirement, yes. You can't make an entire career of support aircraft, though.

What do you mean by being a career killer?
