Exclamation UAS done.. but I wanna fly civvy? How?

Hi Fellas,

A coupla questions for you.

I have completed EFT with the UAS on the Grob, 15 hours solo, 75 dual. That includes Instrument Flying Test, Pilot Nav Test and FHT (regrettably never bothered with landaways). I left the RAF at this stage. I have my up to date RAF Pilot's Flying Log Book signed off by the Sqn Boss.

I am starting to look into the options for going into the airlines and would like to get a rough idea about.....

a) How much cash am I looking at spending to get qualified fit to stand a chance getting hired? I have about £27k tucked under my mattress... but is this anywhere near enough?

b) How long would working through the qualifications/tests/boards take?

b) What are my first steps?

Any advice would be much appreciated
