I think flyme can always reduce the entry requirements but why would they? If they can find qualified guys with plenty of experience and a good attitude why would they settle for gyus with less experience? Of course there will always be the people that have worked for the company in other positions and that know the "right" people and will thereby bypass the requirements! I have talked to similar operators and they have also said that it is an insurance issue!
Don't know the company myself but I hope they will make it! All employers are good!
