Was a while ago that I applied so things may have changed but back then turbine time was a definite plus.. especially Twotter time. I was rejected due to age at 40 which I thought a trifle harsh as I was a damn sight fitter at 40 than some guys I knew 15 yrs younger. As always if you know someone there it helps enormously. I knew someone who'd flown three season with them.. it IS a very harsh environment (so whingers are not welcome) requiring the skills to adapt to a very specialist type of flying in order to remain safe. Not for everyone.
