Unfortunately as an instructor every hour over 200 will potentially count against you.
Allow me to explain - I did say

It varies from airline to airline obviously, but anecdotally the big players who take a lot of cadets
prefer people who are young and fresh out of training with minimal hours. Something about younger inexperienced people being easier to mould and the more single pilot hours you have, the harder it is to train you to fly in a multi crew environment.
