The truth is nobody knows.
Open age discrimination would be illegal, but it certainly happens.

Though I do know someone in their mid-40s who got hired by Ryanair around 12 months ago or so. There was also a guy on one of Ryanair's mentored programme in his early 50s. No idea whether he is still doing the course/ has finished it/ got hired though.
