Probably better to wait until you meet requirements as stated in the ad.
If I remember correctly from last time you have to wait 12 months between applications if you get rejected for whatever reason.
I would be surprised if they don't recruit again within the next couple of years, a lot of folk departing eastwards will soon drain the pool of type rated and suitable candidates and then the rest will get a chance.
From the evidence of the last recruitment round, they tend to be more interested in the candidate than the type rating. Unlike the rest for whom cheap is king.
