In 2007 Onur Air did not have any hour requirement, but I can tell you as a fact that most of those requirements does not apply when companies dont find qualified pilots. It is very expensive for an airline to type-rate a pilot, thats why they want guys who have the rating...
I know the story is different now, but what you have to ask yourself is how is the business gonna be in 1 year and then base your decisions on that...
Are you gonna wait until things get better and do what? Once things get better the airlines are not gonna wait around for you to do a type-rating, its better to do it now when times are bad so that you are ready to go as soon as the airlines start hiring again...
