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.
Well, I didnt say it was shorter...just different!
On a related note, I love how the JCAB will accept a 767 type rating, but not an FCC certificate issued by the US. That was 4 days of worthless knowledge! Yes....you read that right....4 days in the classroom and two exams to get a Japanese Radio Operators Permit.
