When I went to the Easyjet Roadshow at Luton towards the end of last year, they said they had only taken on 1 person with sub 1000hrs I think it was. And if you do a search on PPRUNE I think you'll find this was the errr..famous rugby player...
Typically they want 1500hrs and type rated.
Ryanair, seem to be not as strict, though they have tried to take on 40 Yugoslavians recently, already type rated.
You can only apply to either via the web, with limited details about yourself.
