Ifitaint... I see what you're saying, but it would be far easier moving the EASA to FAA way (barring right to work and immigration arguments). You wouldn't need to line the pockets of one of the few ATOs that you MUST use to do your compulsory study, in your spare time, then take 3 weeks off work to travel half way across the country to attend mandatory groundschool, then travel somewhere else to sit the exams (at £80 or so a time?) on the dates they stipulate...
The other "BizJet" rules are daft too. I know a few people with only FAA qual's, flying N/M-reg, in EASA airspace. I'm sure these people would be just as happy to fly Euro-reg airframes, and the owners happy to operate European registered fleets if it was as easy as operating/licensing under the FAA system.
