Regulatory Bodies

Forgive me if this has been discussed in the past, however I conducted a search, and with the search critera used, as you might imagine It was like finding the worlds smallest needle in the worlds biggest haystack.

My question is regarding bodies such as the JAA and FAA:

For exmaple, JAA trained pilots flying a BA 747 Heathrow - Los Angeles. Are there no problems encountered with JAA pilots flying through/into FAA airspace? Slight differences in the rules and regulations? obviously the same problem for an AA trip'7 pilot flying JFK - Heathrow.

Or are pilots flying these routes trained to adhere to any of rules imposed by their non-native regulatory body?

Also, as I understand it, JAA covers Europe, and FAA covers the US. Who covers the rest of the world? I did a Wikipedia search and found lots of individual bodies (equal to the CAA in the UK??) but couldnt find anything regarding a similar situation to the JAA.

Thanks in advance for any informative replies
