It's never too late. People I know personally, good people, got into the majors at 40+ in the early to mid 2000's.

Seriously folks, we are making ourselves weak and every other country is taking advantage of it. If you're 30+, 40+ or even 50+ with the right experience you can make it in this part of the world. This experience, by the way, can be attained very easily.
There is an on going pilot shortage that is just starting to raise its beautiful head. If you're thinking about it, do it with conviction and you will succeed 100%.
