skyknight: i'd say check through your application and make sure you meet all the requirements. as long as the application in the web portal doesn't show rejection or they have contacted you, you'll just have to wait it out.
best bet is usually the walk-in interview sessions. good luck and don't give up!

pilotpassion: age31? i'm not sure but if you are keen and have savings etc, i'd say why not! if not you will surely wonder/regret in the future.
