I'm currently at about 650TT. CFI/CFII, 550+PIC, 80hrs instrument. Seems I meet most of the requirements posted in their FO listing. Would it be worth me applying at 750 hours or should I wait until 1,000 or so to look more competitive. Id like to have more exotic aircraft than a C172 on my resume and Planesense seems like a good company to work for and gain some experience.

Hate to break it to you but the reality is that guys like you and me are stuck being CFI's for the foreseeable future. Could be worse, imagine getting a regional class date and leaving your old CFI job just to have COVID go down and now you have 1,500hr and nobody to fly for.
This is a true statement

I think if you look at the fact that we still can fly as CFI's is the silver lining in this whole thing. Like I said before it could be worse. Mid to low time CFI's have to build up time anyways so it's almost a wash for us...so long as we keep our jobs..

You never know what they are after. Maybe they want pilots with low experience, rather than a spoiled airline pilots.
The truth is that my buddy American Airlines Junior FO (former Regional check airmen and Captain) 6000h tt and myself 2400h tt, regional FO are applying for this job. It is a sad time for our industry and we will all have to endure it together. I want to believe better times are coming.
Hang in there guys!
