There must be a shortage of qualified pilots in Europe these days. I only hold a US ATPL (NO JAA), but I have around 1300 hours on the EMB-145 for a US regional airline. Currently on the Boeing 737-800 for a US charter airline. I am a Norwegain national. I have also been in contact with Ryan Air. Both these airlines are willing to validate my FAA license.
No airline in Europe, including Ryanair validates licenses. You will take two exams as well as a medical to initiate the validation process with the Irish Aviation Authority. You are responsible to complete the process. They will give you guidance and that's all.
By the way, are you a members of teh Miami Air International club?
