The (rather arbitrary) age limit is there because it is known that people are (generally) sharper and more able to learn when they are younger, and air traffic is a very demanding mental arena. The theory is that once you get older you are able to rely more on experience instead.
How this will effect NATS, I don't know. Are there exemptions for safety-critical jobs?
