There was an airline, Transaer, now gone bust, who used to fly charters from Chicago during the Winter season. They used to base crews there for six months at a time. The point being that they were working for the airline and paid in Ireland. No one was there permanently and they probably had crew visas. But it was possible.

Interestingly they also used to base crews in Cuba and Karachi, Pakistan. You can guess which base was the more popular.

Your problem is that you have to find an airline that has a base in the USA, get hired and then get based there. Or get a job with an transatlantic airline and get them to roster you so that you start and finish in the USA. A bit of a tall order there, don't you think? Good luck with that!
