Opportunities with an FAA License

Hi

I have an FAA Class 1 Medical but at present no JAR Medical (my case is under review at the moment by the UK CAA and independant body).
Whilst I have desperately tried to get this bug out of my system and stay away from airports, airfields, aerodromes and 'forget about flying', I simply cant.

After seeing a Singapore Airlines 747 parked at the Gate at LHR today, I have been giving a lot of thought to options and chances of success outside of JAA, in the short term at least.

I just wanted some solid advice as to what options there are with an FAA License.

I know you cannot work in Europe with an FAA License and I am not a U.S Citizen and I know you cannot work in U.S.A without a Greencard.

Of course, I assume that NWA, AA, Continental and the likes will NOT entertain the notion of 'work permits for British Citizens'.

So what options does this leave?
Where can I fly with an FAA License outside of UK?

Can I fly for regionals/majors on my British Passport with a work permit for carriers who accept FAA/ICAO Licenses?

Would I be better of going for CASA or SA?

You get the jist of it..

Cheers
