Arrow [HOWTO]Become a Fulltime Major Airliner Pilot ?

Hello everyone,
this is my first thread & I have a few questions which I would like to ask here.

I live in India. I'm studying in class 12 i.e last yr. of high school.
I want to become a fulltime major airliner pilot for FedEx, UPS, A'A, etc. after this yr.
I'm in Pure Science Stream & got scored 92.4 % in my last board exam.
I'm from a middle-class family.

I want to ask that,
  • What's the Best Flight School (I can fly in any country with no restrictions)?
  • What's the Highest License for a pilot i.e ATPL ? How does it differs from CPL/IR ?
  • What's the maximum course duration & total fees ?
  • Which is the Best Major Airliner to join ? What are its criteria's ? Why ?
  • What is criteria to be declared Fit for Class-I Medical ?
  • What are the requirements to become a pilot & the very basic elements like Visa,etc ?
Sorry, the questions seems just to be like theory exam sheets QA, but please guys help me with my queries & try to be precise with the answers.

Thanks a lot in Advance.
