Post change of course

im going for a change of careers can any one put me straight on a few points is this the correct course & hours required to fly as an airline pilot
1=ppl min 45hrs

2=cpl 200hrs

3=frozen atpl after passing the theory test is any flying involved in the atpl or is it just written work

this would then allow you to be f/o in an airline gaining full atpl after 1500 hrs
& most importantly, am i to old to begin training at 36yrs ive read in a few places that you have very little chance of being employed by an airline after youre mid 30s is this the case do airlines really get away with blatant discrimination ( i certainly dont consider myself old at 36 ) i know i wouldnt get sponsored by them but i can & will fund it myself.if this is true thier mad to right people of at 35 .
any help much appreciated
