Question I need help!

Hello All

Can you give me your thoughts on some advice I have been given:

I am 21 years old & want to be an airline pilot(!). I've applied to BA twice, each time getting to the final board only to be told I wasn't quite up to scratch. Since BA won't be doing the sponsership thing for a couple of years, I've been told the best thing to do is to go to the USA, get my PPL, train to be an instructor and work as an instructor for a couple of years to build up my hours and then do the exams for my ATPL.

What do you think?!

What is the likelyhood of getting a job as an instructor in the USA at the present time? Roughly how much would it cost to do the PPL and instructors examinations?

Thanks in advance....
