My experience with age:
Started flying at 29, got my CPL/IR (OATS) at 32; was offered my first job in December 2000 (age 34)on the Embraer 145 with a total of 340 hrs.
So I am extremely fortunate about the aircraft I have landed, but I was initially interviewed by this airline for the Dash 8 position, and it was my second interview in a month for the Dash 8 (British European and Brymon, before you ask).
I was worried about age but I don't believe it is a real issue for the airlines who are, I think, looking for faces and personalities that fit.

Good luck to all wannabes.
