Why would it not be an option with a FAA ticket? I thought JAA accepted FAA rated pilots.

Uhhh, sure, if you're flying a N-registered airplane. If you're flying an aircraft registered in a JAA-member country, you gotta have a JAA rating.

If it was just a matter of the JAA licenses, I think a lot of American pilots would be studying up and getting their conversions done. The bigger issue is having the getting the right to work in the EU, very few if any employers will sponsor you for a work permit like some US regionals did when they were desperate for warm bodies to fill their right seats. Plus, you generally have to be fluent in the appropriate national language to get hired at most of the european national carriers.

An FAA ATP ticket is ICAO... it just needs the paperwork push.

True but if you need a JAA ticket, an ICAO will not do

I have seen one 1900 sitting out side of mx during my drive to work (passing CLE on I480W) since I stated over a month ago.
