Read the post above. It's a perfect example of the attitude you don't want in an airliner: I'm interested in being a pilot but I don't want to actually work hard for it.
Now consider someone who actually WANTS to be a pilot: they'll do whatever it takes to make it happen and overcome each obstacle one at a time until they reach their goal.
Getting into an airliner for a normal person is a three step process:
1) Get the money.
2) Get the licence.
3) Get the job.
The struggle is not over until you have all three, and they require different skillsets.
