Ha. Since the "short" course for typed guys is still 7 months, I guess they figure they will have plenty of time to correct your incorrect, western technique.
The FAA is really the most difficult Authority in the world for transferring type ratings. The only one's they will transfer without you having to sit another course are those on a Canadian certificate and that can only be done if you don't already have an FAA ATPL.
