With significant retirements looming I would think they want the younger pilot over the older to give themselves some breathing room
I don't think they really care about any one age group either way. Some recruiters get all stoked off with the "number one draft pick" syndrome and being able to say "I hired the number one in 2040-something!" but if anything they will want to be set up for a smooth attrition curve and will likely hire competitive candidates in all age brackets.
