Virgin - Upper age limit

As far as I know, Virgin Atlantic are one of the only UK airlines to impose an upper age limit on new entrants (33). I am amazed they can get away with this - is it not "ageist"?
Does anyone know the real reason for this? Is it cos they work the juniors so hard they don't think the "oldies" will hack it?! Being 34+ is hardly over the hill (well I don't think so!!) Just curious really.
