I hope not, as I'm 33 too!

The threads would indicate that within reason, age doesn't matter so long as you tick other boxes, alluded to throughout this website.

The Medic doing my Class 1 medical (also ATPL working for airlines) laughed when I put it to him I was getting on a bit to be considering a huge career shift. His basic response was that wasn't an issue so long as I thought everything through, got some good training, understood the likely limitations and stumbling blocks along the way and sold myself well.

Which was nice to hear considering all my non-aviation friends did basically conclude I should just stick to the day job as I had a couple of grey hairs!
