30 is no where near too old. How old are you now? Asking as on another thread you are questioning about a flight school to complete your initial training.
I'm 25 turning 26 this October and I asked with the hypothetical hours because by the time I save up money for flight training I think will be around 28.
Becoming a pilot has always been a dream of mine since I was young but because of flight training costs and the fact that I've had two spontaneous pneumothorax surgeries, I discouraged myself from pursuing a career in aviation until about a few months ago when I learned that 2 SP cases may still qualify me for a class 1 medical (I called about 5 AMEs around US and UK and they said it's not a definite no but also not a definite yes so FAA's going to have to look at my ct scans and xrays).
