Options for potential pilot - training, age, etc.?

Dear all,

I am 25. What would be my options regarding reaching a flying position with an airline/low cost, etc.? I only have 30 hours flying experience on cessnas (years ago), no licenses. Would I need to attend a flight school first in the UK, and then work my way into an airline interview? Or can I be hired directly?

Is 25/26 too old to start?

Quick question about airlines & jobs. Once you get a job with an airline, you are required to stay at your current airline or else you will start at the bottom of another carrier's roster if you happened to move, is this correct?
However, several people here have said they move airline and go direct to the larger aircraft.. does experience factor in? So, you are not really stuck in one company for life, yes?

Thanks
Alan
