I know that after 1500 hours I can apply to get an FAA licence.
My questions are these.

After unfreezing my license, will holding an MPL licence hinder me in obtaining an FAA ATP?

Will my FAA ATP be restricted to multi pilot ops only?

Having an FAA ATP with multi pilot restriction make it harder to get hired?

Will US airlines especially the legacy carriers care and look down upon me having an FAA ATP with multi pilot restriciton?

To those who take the time to reply, thank you for your help, information and any advise you give.

I know people that were very satisfied with them.
Also be careful with that Green card, it comes with residency requirements which you are likely not meeting right now if you are working/living in Europe.
It can be revoked for that reason upon attempted entry.
