I'd say Ryanair and Easyjet are major airlines and you could have a command in those well before you are 50, especially as you are willing to work. Flexibility would certainly be an asset as a willingness to accept any base can accellerate that command. There's always Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways and the like too. Or do you just want a command in a big British scheduled airline?
