I don't know about BA's scheme Ben, if it's up and running again or indeed if it ever will be but I think that too has been addressed on here fairly recently.
There is another sponsorship out at the moment, the KLMuk/buzz one, but I'm afraid you need PPL + 180 hours to go for that, however the fact it exists is (hopefully) a good sign.
As things recruitment wise will undoubtedly be painfully slow to get going again, maybe it would be an idea to look at doing your PPL, certainly good experience and may well prove invaluable in as much it will start you off down the modular route to becoming a professional pilot.
When things pick up, you will be at least that little bit closer to achieving this than not having anything at all.
However this is one of the options, as buzz says take a look at the other threads on here for useful advice from others very much in the same boat.
Good luck.
