Harves,
I'm FD not CC, but getting on the inside may be a good idea. TCX has just taken on two guys from ops who have got f/atpl's.
Having said that, youll still need a few more hours than 200 or theyll just say go see CTC.
There are few others groundstaff / cabin crew at gatwick alone who are either qualified or training for atpl, and a couple of ppl's.
Good luck.
