Needs some advice of a dream of mine

Hey guys,

I kinda of feel that I am stuck in a bit of a hole and this goal of mine is unachieveable both financially and physically/mentally.

I am currently a baby faced flying Instructor working in Australia, originally from the UK so have an EU password (for working rights etc...), but have dreams of working for BA/BMI. Working in Aus I have an ICAO license and I know I will have to get an JAA license, thing is working full-time I don't think I would have the time to study for all 14 exams and the time-off/money to go over to WA to take these exams. I think it would be a good idea to get these exams done now in the down-turn in preperation.

Next problem is I would still have to do 5 hours flying to get CPL(A) equivalent, JAA Medical, MECIR (15 hours flying) and an MCC credit. Which im guessing would cost 10,000 pounds+... or something around that mark.

Any constructive advice would be greatly appreciated on how I could achieve this goal of mine.
