Thanks for the comprehensive DW.
FM, interesting that you stated, "CAA is happy to put an EK earned A330 rating on my JAR/EASA licence as long as I present amongst other things; A copy of the non JAR TRE's authority, and a copy of my non JAR licence." the buggers wouldn't agree to this in my case for my 744 licence based from an ICAO recognised carrier in Asia. Seems a bit arbitrary to me...oh well
All the best with the lawyers...
