Well, looking at your username (presumed 1991 birth) you've done well to save £60k in a few years, given the way the industry is going you may be better off in your current career for the long run. As you say it is a lot of money, therefore any decision to invest it into aviation is massive.

Firstly, have you considered the cadet schemes, BA FPP, Aer Lingus, West Atlantic and (maybe) Virgin Atlantic? All of these you can do without much cost. Alternatively you could save for a couple of more years and have a punt at Easyjet, BA Cityflyer or perhaps as a CTC "Whitetail" course.

If I was in your position and didn't want/couldn't get into a cadet scheme, I'd go part-time instructing around my current job. By all accounts, if you go modular you need to know people and as an instructor you'll get to know a lot of people.
