Under the EASA proposals instructors need to hold a JAA license, not just an FI rating on an FAA license. The FAA have point blank refused to consider licensing reciprocity. In addition, although existing JAA rated instructors will be allowed to continue, the grandfather rights will apply to the instructors themselves, not the FTO, so, although the FTOs training in the US will be OK initially it will be a growing problem for them.
