A word of caution
Self funded = Self selected = No guarantee (by any airline) of a flying job (ever) = Disappointment = Financial loss = Many of the disaffected posters on PPrune.
If what you really want is a long term career on jets with a major airline, ensure that the airline does the pre-training selection. Result (if successful) = long term job satisfaction and financial stability plus, hopefully, a contribution towards your training costs on successful completion of the course and subsequent employment. This is not the career for everyone, make sure that it is the one for you.......before you begin training. A frozen ATPL is NOT a guarantee of employment, and neither is a valid Type Rating.
Other routes may be followed, but success in securing meaningful, long term employment is much more problematic, and sadly for some, never achieved.
Follow your dreams - but always be realistic and objective with your goals.
Good luck.
