I'm talking strictly about Vietjet here, Vietjet have taken zero hours as well, but those people paid a lot of money for the privilege and their type rating has to be from a caav approved trto only, there is no getting around that. As far as I am aware Vietjet via the agencies are interested in people with 500 hours on type only, and this information is recent.
