This is very unlikely...the FAA can't waive the ICAO requirements. They would have to be waived by each member nation which desired to allow your friend to fly in their country. Many regionals won't upgrade FO's who don't meet ICAO...why in the h*ll would UAL? At the very least UAL would upgrade your friend and keep him domestic until he has the PIC.
