Just to give you all hope.
I was 39 when I did my first flying lesson, the only schooling qualifications I have are 7 CSE's no A levels or degree.
Now I am now 46 and I am type rated on a Jet, flying for a excellent company and having the time of my life.
All this talk about been too old just spurs me on!
Pursue your dreams, set your self goals and go for it!
It worked for me.
