Atlas imho is now looking for guys who are either lower on the time or higher on the age.
Just my opinion.

Your block is around 40 hours a month.
Layovers can be at good hotels or soso places. We stay mainly at Hiltons and holiday inn level places.
Layovers are around 18 hours on average.
Granted I'm only speaking for CVG and based on my experience and what I bid for.

Bunch of very high time heavy PIC expats, some military fighter guys, young, old, and most with 3000+ total time.
Trying to make sense of airline hiring usually does not end up making any sense.
