Short answer - No.

There are tens of thousands pilots, who are willing to do it for free/for food.
Do you really think someone gonna pay you 2000-3000$ to do the same job?

Just to complete the picture.
There are 2100 cadet application for Ryanair. That means, only in Europe, more then 2000 low-hour pilots willing to pay 30.000€, accept all the condition, (low pay, move to a random country in Europe), just to have a chance to fly.

There are pilots, willing to sign for FlyDubai scheme. Pay 25000€ euro for TR, to MAYBE get just a job-interview with them! Just an interview, not a job.


So, back to you. Do you really think, with "no experience", someone in US will bother making greed card for you (spending a lot of time and money), then pay you 2000$... oooooor, just take 1 local, who will fly for food?
