Heard from the 757/767 Fleet Captain that for Civilians, the sweet spot is 6,000 Total Time. More is fine, but won't necessarily help you and doesn't hurt you. If you have a lot more than that, they want to see something in addition to normal line flying. Line Check Airman, Sim Instructor, Union Work, being in Management, Community Service, etc.
That information is about a year old, FYI.
I would believe that to be true for just about any airline hiring right now.
