I have always believed the FAA IR is not the answer - but as more than a few pilots have found, it is the only practical alternative. Just do not be surprised if in Euroland once the IMCR is gone, next on the list will be the FAA IR.
I don't follow your logic here, are you suggesting that taken to its extreme all US airlines will be banned from flying to Europe because the crews have FAA IRs?
