Thats crap!! I converted my FI rating in to EASA and it was the best decision. It is an amazing opportunity to learn about flying in Europe and experience different countries attitudes towards flying. Despite my type rating in Boeing, I am not thinking about the airline for now and free to go wherever the job takes me.
.... and the demand for FI s are always there.
