If you have a JAA licence then no problems for the time being. I say that because no one at the DCA seems to know from one day till the other but as AA are very short of tech crew then I suppose the DCA will have to comply.
I've heard AA has already taken their first expat, a canadian with the January ground school consisting of only expats.
If you want to fly a nice aircraft and live in sunny Malaysia then go for it and apply. The airline is expanding rapidly so there's lots of opportunity. Good luck.
