If that's the only reason why you wish to become an airline pilot, then I seriously hope no reputable airline will hire you. I'm guessing that you're quite a high timer, 5000 - 6000 hours perhaps, but probably all on single engine pistons, perhaps most of it as a flight instructor? I don't mean any offense, but if you haven't attracted airline recruiters, or even part 135 recruiters after such experience, then that's probably telling you something about your own suitability for such operations.

If you're in it for the glamor then there's nothing stopping you from purchasing a set of epaulettes and wings at a pilot supply shop, and wearing your uniform around in the terminal building dragging along your trolley bag around, with raybans on (at night even). You don't need any flying skills for that, and this way, you'll leave the airline jobs for those who really do deserve it.
