How to become a commercial airline pilot.

Hello all,
I am just seeking a bit of advice. Currently, I'm completing a master's degree in Aerospace Engineering however I would like to take up a career as a commercial airline pilot. Having done previous flying at both a private school of flying and in the RAF (univeristies air squadron), I believe this will help me as a starting point.

I am asking as to the best route to make it as a pilot, whether to self-sponsor yourself (really expensive!) or to try and get a sponsorship. Ideally in the future I's wish to be a pilot for an airline such as BA or Emirates.

If anyone has some good advice as to the best way to get there, please let me know. Thanks again, I appreciate the help.
