From my own experience. I am 29, five years older than my instructor. I have about one year left in school to finish my AAS in aviation. My instructor made a comment today that I am not much older than him. That simple little comment kind of shocked me in the wrong way just for the simple fact that a five year age gap between us, meant an 8+ year head start (for him) in the same ultimate pursuit. So what I am trying to say, if you currently have not much total time, with a degree add three years to your age. That's when it's seems the average time till you could get an airline job. 35 to 37 will be when I will be hireable, if nothing changes!
