Jet * Int requirements for ER OPs

Would it be fair to speculate the a new/startup international carrier whom wished to fly ER/ETOPS flying from day one would need to show CASA 2 of the following :-
1/ A proven history of maintenance of similar or same type aircraft
A. Maint to be done by QF
2/ Highly experienced Tech crew with many hours on type?
I have read on another now closed thread that many of the current QF A330 Captains would not qualify to apply for Jet * due to the high hours required?
Would this be the reason the job advertisements are being seen worldwide with Jet * trying to lure a few home sick pilots away from the sand pit or Hong Kong to acquire the experience they need to operate on the routes planned?
Perhaps a few DECs on big buck contracts to get the ball rolling?
