Try doing a search on here for UKFT, there's plenty of discussion about their fictional 'JAR-compliant' licence. A licence is either issued in accordance with JAR-FCL 1 or it is not, there are no half measures. UKFT will provide you with an FAA licence, which may later be 'converted' to a JAA licence, but then so may any other FAA licence gained at any other US flight school - there's nothing special about one gained at UKFT, except that it's probably more expensive.

It is not true to say that everything is now EASA. Until EASA takes responsibility for european pilot licensing on 8 April 2012 and since the JAA has reverted to being a training facility (JAAT), the JAA member states have agreed to continue licensing in accordance with JAR-FCL. However, considering the chaos and indecision that currently exists in Cologne, EASA will be pushed to get its implementing rules adopted into law and published by the deadline. They have already had to abandon Parts -AR and -OR and amalgamate them into Part-FCL in order to avoid the embarrassment of failing to get them into law in time.
