Hey Sam,
Age has nothing to do with getting an airliner job, except with limits on licences(some airlines have age restrictions to fly for them to). Its all based on hours and experience, pilots who put the hard yards into their career get results.

Pilots fresh out of training moan because they cant get a job as they expect to be strapped into a 737 etc. There are plenty of jobs out there flying smaller planes.

The airline industry is very competive and half the time its all about TIMING

But don't expect to come out of training looking to fly a 737 sized aircraft though. Ask some pilots flying the big stuff, they will all have different backgrounds.

All the best
Aero
