Cabin crew to Pilot? Will it work?

Good afternoon all,

I am in my final year of A - levels and nearing the end of my PPL.

I have been looking at my options for when I leave next year and I was wondering, is it possible to become cabin crew and then self fund an fATPL by flying on days off and such?

My local airports are EMA and BHX and have noticed Flybe have been recruiting a lot of cabin crew. After doing some research, their cabin crew salary is roughly £1000-1400/ month. If I'm living at home with my parents, would this be a sufficient income to fund pilot training with an FTO such as Aeros?

If not cabin crew, then maybe ground ops/ airside jobs?
