I'm sort of in your shoes -- 34 y/o and a J.D. From what I've been able to gather, I really doubt that the J.D. will hurt (there are many, many former lawyers flying for the airlines) and probably would help, although only slightly. It's something that might help you to stand out/give you something interesting to talk about at the interview. It also helps to show that you can learn and master advanced material. But I think that's about it. It's not going to automatically put you ahead of everyone else -- just one helpful piece to the puzzle that is you.
