My Plan (Help & Advise could help)

Hi, From my profile you ca see I'm very new, however this is what I want to do in terms of later on it life, I'll give you a background.

I'm currently 17 years old, 18 in January 2015. I'm studying A-Levels at my Sixth Form and studying Geography, Psychology and BTEC ICT, I have the needed 5 C's or above at GCSE.

My dream is to become a commercial airline pilot, so I had a look at CTC's airline programmes. Ones that caught my eye were Monarch and British Airways. However, at such a young age, my fear of the cost of the training being so high, what would you do. I know both Monarch and BA use the bank loan from BBVA, do you think that's a good way to go?

Out of the two programmes, at this moment in time I think that Monarch's programme would be best in terms of entry requirements.

My family also do not simply understand how much I want this dream to become a reality, but with how much the training costs, they won't even think about it.

Any help or advise is welcome.

Thanks
