Its sad that the majority (but not all) fellow pilots on this thread can think of nothing better than vitriolic and sarcasm. What about support and encouragement? The guy has 1K TT and maybe not all SEP!
Actually with a 747/777 rating may have considerable more chance than the scores of wannabees with brand new licenses, 160hrs (its getting less and less) and a 737/A320 rating. I hate to add this but especially if you have deep pockets - after all lets face it - that's the way the industry is heading.
Good luck anyhow.
