HiWing,
If you haven't already, get a licence, then join ryanair or easyJet. The debate between BA and the loco's has been done to death. We all know who comes out on top. I know plenty of ex loco pilots happily flying for BA. I know none, nor have I ever heard of any, who have trended the other way.
How will I live in London? I'm a grown up so I've figured that one out. Didn't take long, you'll grasp it one day. Infact, I've changed my mind, I'll live in Sydney. You can do that in a grown up airline.
