I suspect the airlines are looking for cadets aged around 18-25, so your age probably doesn't help your case. There's also a push for more female cadets; Qantas and Virgin have announced they are aiming for a 50-50 gender split in their cadet recruitment. Virgin exceeded that with their 2018 intake, where 9 out of 16 recruits were female. My guess is they've had far more applications than there are places available and that applicants who don't fit the right 'demographic' are automatically rejected.
