Financial istance?

Hi, I am dreaming of a career as an Airline Pilot, however...I am from a very poor family. My parents are too ill to work, so they are on DLA etc and are always short of money and in debt. I cannot get a full time job because I am a full time student at college claiming EMA. I live in a council house and have no property to secure a mortgage/loan against....to fund my flight training. I have worked out an estimate of approximately �100k including living costs, books, lessons etc. Because of my situation.....I doubt I will ever be able to self fund my training. The only airline im the UK I am aware of that does a sponsorship scheme is easyJet....and even then, I need to give them �60k up front (which they pay back when I'm working for them) and I still need money for living costs etc. The rest of the airlines have closed there sponsorship schemes and only accept Direct Entry pilots (self funded). I was oringinally going to join the RAF as a pilot and then get a type conversion....cont.
