If your face fits
It is suggested that if your face fits you may get lucky,
but tu154, I know your face and I suggest that is this ,and not the IR skills which may prove to be your buggest obstacle ;-)
PS FAA IR about £10k all up flights flying, visa accomodation, plus about £3k to get FAA CPL in the UK. But then of course you need to convert it.
