Hello, I am working towards becoming a professional pilot and I know that the next step for me now that I have my private pilot’s license is to go for Instrument, Commercial, Multiengine, I am also planning on completing the follwing licenses CFI, CFII and MEI. I was wondering if I could skip CFI, CFII, MEI since my job with the military would require for me to go on deployment at a moment’s notice and so I wouldn’t be able to keep a student(s) if I was to become a flight instructor. So my question is could this hurt me in the future? I was also wondering about my age and if it would be a factor, since I am 28 years old and I know that a lot of pilots are working for commercial airlines by this age. I wouldn’t want to spend the time and money on something that I’m really not going to be able to use or that I don’t really need in order for me to become a professional pilot.
