I believe the TRSS requires a min' of a frozen ATPL and 500hrsTT. For those having gone through the CTC AQC it's the basic frozen ATPL 200hr mark after selection.
I think it's becoming more and more common today to see a lot of frozen ATPL holders getting into the low costers after selection proceedures. The reasoning behind it? Well it's selected, qualified, and suitable pilots who are willing to pay for their own rating, willing to work for first couple of years on relatively low pay, and have a fresh outlook as far as no previous knowledge to other airline sop's (not that I personally would consider that so bad).
So can't say for sure, but as easy state a min of 500hrs for their TRSS, I think this rules out nobody and on this particular scheme you'll find people will have ALL experience levels from ppl instructors with 1500hrs, to turbine captains with 3000hrs on the courses.
Good luck with going orange...
