FAA ATPL to JAA ATPL

I know, I know, some of you would say it has been posted before...but I just want to visit the latest and ask for the advise from anyone who have recently converted FAA to JAA.

I have over 4,000 TT with 1,500 ME. No Turbine, but lots of Charter/Cargo experience. ATPL with First Class Medical and a college degree...my English wife wants to have our kids raised in England and I am beginning to think about the possibilities. Stability is very important to me. I was selected to fly for a regional airline here in the US, turned it down for the corporate gig and two month later that airline furloughed 100 pilots.

I have a very good corporate job flying a Cessna 404/421 and it's not easy to leave a stable flying job, move to a different country and start over. But, I'm willing to give it a try.

What are the chances of getting an airline job in UK/Europe with JAA ATPL?

Before that, I need to find out about the cost and the details of the process to convert the FAA ATPL to JAA, preferrably in England.

Please help!
Thanks.
