Some operators are in the process of retiring their 737 and switching to the A320.
Now, as I understand, an FAA Type rating won't transfer to other licenses is that correct?

I have an FAA License and an ANAC License (Brazil), on which license would it be more beneficial to get the type rating under? Not that I'm rushing out of here to go buy a type rating, but if I get one on my ANAC license there's a small process I can go through to get it on the FAA license.

thanks.

ps. I guess the main question is: Would I need to take another type rating in the country of employment or is FAA + Type rating enough?
