I too, am not YET in the airline industry, but as an Engineering Director do alot of interviews. I would say the biggest item will be how they bring themselves off during the interview and the one the will better fit the dynamics of the group they are fitting into.
I could see pro and cons for both ages:
young thinks he knows it all, or wants to learn
older thinks he knows it all, or will be a team player
