Unhappy Do airlines discriminate against female applicants in their early 30s??

I know airlines don't discriminate against people in late 30s + but now early 30s is such a popular age for women to have children, do airlines, like other companies, just think you are a 'write off'. I am 33 and have a fiance and I don't want to have children - I want to fly (again) - I've thought about having children but would rather fly instead - that's how committed I am! But despite 5 years flying experience with UK's largest airline and loads of applications I can't get anywhere.
Does anyone out there work in airline recruitment and answer honestly that they don't think about your age and assume you want kids.
