I would assume his EASA PICUS does satisfy the FAA 250 hour PIC requirement (and have tacitly assumed that from the get-go) but that's only an amateur assumption on my part. So, I asked questions in lieu of making definitive statements. And I can tell you "A bit of logical reasoning..." doesn't always work with the FAA and their FARs. That's why there are countless pages of legal interpretations put out by the Chief Counsel of the FAA in DC; logical reasoning failed to actually answer the question.
amonghtus has a big decision to make: whether to cut bait from where he is and come over here assuming he'll proceed to an FAA ATPL with few snags and no deal breakers.
Hope it all goes as it appears it should.
