Not so easy to read the minds of the recruiters
If the initial min requirements are not met, then the recruiter MIGHT be able to find a most (on perfect) applicant, and propose to the company.
if the CP is actually recruiting, then sometimes the min requirements are set in rock, but sometimes NOT.
I would always suggest that IF you beleive that your abilities and qualifications make you suitable for that post, regardless of the mins stated then go for it.
For example Emirates say NO TP time will be credited. Unless they need you, and then the rules change.
