Most likely reason for that: experience on type or similar aircraft.
I had applications rejected even though I nearly had twice the required time plus 1000h on jet, worked for the company before and referees within company. Reason: they (not TAG) wanted someone who lives in Zurich. I also had an application rejected even though I was the chief pilot's favourite candidate, but the owner went for one of the other 50 applicants. On the other hand I have seen guys with 500h being sent onto G550s (DC Aviation, Germany).
