Think you've mis-read:
1) Citation 525, D-ITAN
2) Boeing 777 300ER, TC-JJA
[...]
1) 4,300 hours (of which 1,250 hours were on type)
Last 90 days - 60 hours
Last 28 days - 30 hours
2) Not known
Last 90 days - not known
Last 28 days - not known

So the worry now is not that the Turkish skipper is low hours, but that Turkish don't know how many hours... or they aren't co-operating with AAIB investigations.
