Besides a private pilot license, instrument rating and appropriate type
ratings, what else does he need?


A carport or so to park the 707 at home.
But he's got one - check this out:

John and family have the cover story in the latest Architectural Digest.
I'm not a big fan of the home's exterior design, but - with two jets
pulled up to it, I could learn to live with that.

I was in Bermuda this past June and John's plane was at the airport parked
off in a corner. It's number was something like 707JT. Doors were all open
and there was laudry hanging from one of them..

If you look at the pilot registry, he's a private pilot. Duh? Qantas
Captain?

If he wants to be PIC in the the 707 he may need an ATP. You'd have to
check the aircraft type certificates. Some require the PIC to be an
ATP.

None that I know of. I have personally trained a few Commercial Pilots
for B-707 type ratings. They had G.I. Bill money to burn and didn't
have enough hours to qualify for an ATP.

BTW: Qantas said Travolta would be spending several months getting up
the standards to qualify as Captain. I assume that will give him his
ATP too. I'm sure Qantas 121 ticket requires all PICs to be ATP.
