This really ought to be in Wannabes, and I might move it there in time, but it may have some resonance for other mil people.
As has been said, effectively there is no chance whatsoever of getting someone else to pay for your training. It just doesn't happen any more. There are one or two oddities around (Air Atlantique for one), but they are way out of the mainstream.
The CTC system is very good. If you get on it - and pass - you are 98% assured of a job as long as the market stays good. No other scheme can boast such figures, but no other scheme does such extensive selection screening. CTC (and many other trainers) uses PILAPT - search for it. It is different to the military system, and a fail in one does not necessarily mean a fail in the other.
Oxford, Cabair and FTE Jerez (the only CAA-sanctioned integrated schools) all offer superficially similar schemes, but their students are not selected against airline manning requirements as CTC's are, and many will take a long time to get employed post-training. Some may never find flying work. There are also a couple of airline-led schemes which work in a similar fashion to CTC. Look in

You can, of course, take yourself through training on the modular system with any school you choose, paying as you go. This can be somewhat cheaper, but you need to study the system and make a solid plan before you start. Whichever route you take will cost you between £45,000 and £80,000 - more if you decide you want to pay for a type rating. Of course, you will be paying back this money soon, if not immediately, after you complete training. Should you be lucky enough to get on the CTC or airline-mentored schemes, that repayment will be taken from pre-tax income.
Your initial salary, if you are successful in finding employment, could be anything from £15k at a small turboprop operator to around £30k at a low-cost airline. This is probably less than you're on now, but your earning capability would be much greater - senior training captains with BA or Virgin can currently earn up to £150k.
The risks - and the potential rewards - are high for someone in your position. Do all the research you can before you commit to this path. Read

Good luck.
