similar situation to another respondant... I completed my CPL last year age 43 and am currently part way through the FI course, my aim being some part time PPL instructing as a skilled hobby. I have already been offered one position at a local airfield. They cant wait for me to finish so I can start flying for them. I was also encouraged to continue through multi-IR by my CPL experience ,being told by several people in the industry that I am not too old to go through to ATPL. However I am still employed elsewhere... so maybe next year !
