My extremely rose-tinted view of the UK airline industry is my Mum & Dad having had very glamorous jobs with BA, so the US regional scene looked pretty medieval by comparison!
Hope someone with some realistic, current knowledge can give you both some advice!
Strangely enough, one of the EFT instructors - who used to fly BizJets in the UK - mentioned to me that it would have been really handy to have had the FAA equivalents of his licences at that time. But I suppose you know all about EASA and the non-JAA (i.e. FAA) merry-go-round!...
