Where you can fly.... the FAA certificate is an ICAO certificate so it is accepted anywhere that the ICAO license is accepted. Being a FAA certificate should not matter.But it does .... commercially. Can't imagine there are too many operators in Europe who would employee and FAA rated pilot.

look, with a license you can work anywhere you want as long their CAA and immigration department gives you a work permit and a validation.

but you will be limited on :

-citizen of the country first
-visa is limited in time and duty


when you finish your job, you go home...take your money and look for another job!

for a guy with 200h total, I can tell you, it will be very hard.

Solcal there isn't much difference as far as I can tell between the flavours.

If you have a low hours FAA license you won't/can't get it converted and same with a JAR license.

You have a couple of thousand hours multi crew time and its a paperwork exercise for both types and an airlaw exam. The only thing that JAR licensed folk seem to have an advantage on is that all ratings are command ratings so there is no additional training required to swap to the LHS if you have only flown it RHS before. Company training and LPC and off you go.

You could start with the United States...:}

And BTW, FAA issue certificates not licenses.
