Someone posted in these forums a link from a vacancy notice from TAP for pilots. I don't know Portuguese but it seemed to me that they clearly stated that the candidates should have 1000 hrs and not be older than 35 (or something like that someone else could clarify this). Aegean Airlines also when they have a vacancy they also have an age limit for pilots, it should be 32 or something if my memory serves me well.
So, if i got this right, you have airlines that they have an age limit and no one cares about it and you have Ryanair which has not an age limit, officially, but its obvious that it prefers younger guys. I am also 32 and i have commenced my modular training but based on these facts i don't think that i would be the ideal candidate for many airlines.
By no means i am not a Ryanair fan but i don't understand why no one else mentioned other airlines which clearly have an age limit.
