KRDAVIS
Take it from you will be as welcome to an airline as a "guide dog in a guide dogs home with Rabies"
I have a restricted JAR license due DCV and an FI rating but it has been an uphill battle and I have put the same resources into this as others but unfortunately the way things stand I cannot get a decent paying job outside of instruction (decent and paying are therefore mutually exclusive in that context).
My advice to you for what it's worth
Keep flying fun and don't ever stop flying
Go FAA route if you wan't a career but be aware of visa requirements
Check out RAF Instructor opportunities (air cadet instructors) as no license is required and you can gain excellent experience and have fun
Hope for changes with EASA but don't hold your breadth (I did that with JAR which was a sham).
Good Luck !
