Rudestuff - no decent airline is going to hire someone who walks into an interview (if you ever get an interview with that background, that is) with those credentials. It is not in their interest to hire someone who has 'popped over' to the US and flown crap monotonous unsupervised sorties back and fore just to stack up hours. You'd have absolutely no credibility.
Secondly, even the plan to make this happen would need to be like clockwork, travel docs/visas/accom/transport/exams/resits/conversions to CAA licenses/ sim trips/type ratings/IR quals/MCC training/JOC.
It's insane to believe this will happen (a) first time round and (b) in short order. Life isn't that regulated I'm afraid.
Of course your worst enemy is yourself. Trying to remain focussed and disciplined when you're doing this all on your lonesome without the 'classroom' around you to encourage team effort/encouragement/etc.
How can it cost £40k, if the IR alone is £50k??? The type rating is: £35k. Exams are £3k. Accom is going to be around £3k. Twin time @ £800/hr soon adds up. Sim time? Get real and stop 'bigging' the cheap route up.
Do it once, do it properly. You don't have the time nor the money to cock it up and go round the buoy again.
