Yes, if FAA certification suits your needs, you're prepared to jump through the hoops and you can get a chunk of time off work to get over there. I've flown quite a lot in the USA myself, so not exactly a stranger. For most people the hassle involved becomes prohibitive, and if you don't happen to be one of those shandy-drinking types who live in the South East the trips around the country for embassy appointments, fingerprints, LaserGrade exams etc can be quite a bind.
