Agree with everything that has been said here about the Arab gentleman wishing to fly in the US. The only way is to instruct and build hours that way. Buying a type rating at this stage would be a waste of good money.
We have all been at the stage where we just wanted to jump straight into the big jet and go, but in all honesty, you only realise once you get there that you actually spent too much time worrying about flying heavy jets and not enough time enjoying real flying. By the time you get to the big boys, you hardly fly the bloody things anymore anyway.
As for low time guys in Europe, I did my licenses in the US before returning to Europe.
For every pilot over here with 300 hours who gets lucky and finds a job, there are 1000 who do not.
I wish them both the best of luck. He's a lucky guy to have a wife this understanding.
