I am a CFI at 900 TT.
You have to get an invite in order to attend. You get an invite by RSVP’ing first. I can’t tell you to not show up but just remind you that the event is for potential quick upgrade Captains only. (Regional pilots, LCC’s etc..)
Right now my understanding is that the FOs they are hiring don’t need to be ATPs (company pays for your ATP-CTP once you upgrade) but they do have to have 1500+ hours. Their mins are 1000 but I haven’t heard of anyone getting hired with those hours for a while but that may change next year when they up the classes to 16 a month (it’s been 4-8 a month in 2019).
Keep building your hours, there will def be a spot for you at some point!
