Hours threshold - Fixed or room for manoeuvre?

[Dreamshiner]

Just wanted to know with companies such as Qatar hiring now, how fixed in stone (or not) are the hours requirements they state?

So starting this thread for people to post if they did or know of colleagues/friends who have been hired and their total time and total on type at time of joining.

I'll list them all on this first post. The main reason is to find out if some airlines are worth a punt or if its non negotiable, therefore save your money, hope and expectation.

For Demonstration Purposes only (not real):

Qatar (just because its topical), June 2009, 737NG Rated, 560 on type, 900TT, invited to interview

Thanks in advance,
