Not sure of your location so costs are a bit had to advise on.
Chances of LHS for a wide body are in reality pretty low. Since you're asking about wide body and mentioned DEFO as well, the job you're likely to get initially will be FO on a Turbo Prop and then take your chances from there, probably a command on a Turbo Prop then either FO on a narrow body or SO on wide body.
Thanks. I’m Sydney based, was looking at Central Coast Aero Club.
I’ve been involved in airlines for many years (10+ years), working at Virgin and Qantas in Technology, but have always had a dream to fly.
