JAA IR / CPL / ME Including an ATPL frozen licence

In Asia or any other part of the world. What countries other then the EU will hire JAA ECSA Pilots?

EASA Licenses are ICAO as well... every CAA will issue its own Flight Licences, hopefully ICAO as well.
So, if your base licence has some kind of credibility, like EASA, FAA, CAA and CASA, to name a few, you'll be entitled for some credibility as well. You'll most probably get hour equivalents, and most subjects equivalencies as well. Never the less, most conversions require you to sit a few exams. Usually you always need to redo Air Law, and some times a few more, like planning/performance/Navigation. But it always depends on your base licence, where you're converting and your flight experience.

cheers.

The reason I ask this is because im in the middle of coverting my FAA cpl and IR licences to JAA and was wondering if most countries perfer jaa to faa. When I visited the philippines a couple of years ago they told me I would have to complete my cpl all over again +250 hours all over again. I will not do that again, does the philippines have some kind of ICAO exclusion?
