The age thing is rubbish - do not be put off. I never had a commercial licence until I was 36 and never flew a jet until I was nearly 40. I am now an A319 captain at easyJet and loving it!
It is true that there are a handful of 25 year old captains but they are very much the exception. I cannot say exactly but the vast majority get commands in their late 30s and early 40s. Pilots at easyJet come from every walk of life and are all the better for it. The current practice of taking CTC guys is proving to have a few snags but it has to be said the vast majority I have flown with are a delght to be around.
The 1500 hour rule at easyJet is only there until it is not there! There is no such thing as rules for ever - if you are asked to fill in the form just ignore the so called rules and do it. If they need you the rules will change in an instant. Anyway, best of luck to one and all.
