ICAO or JAA ATPL The ultimate question!!

Hi All,

I am a 25 year old Australian with a PPL (A). I have moved to London with my partner who is set in a really good job here and she wants to stay!

I have decided after years of job hopping, that I want to be a career pilot. I have been reading many of the forums and feeding off the advice of others about how to approach my training. At this stage I am not sure whether to stay in the UK and do the Bristol ATPL DL or go back to Australia and do the ICAO ATPL theory.

I really want to stay close to my partner and don't really want to head back to Australia to complete my training, but I am torn between what is the better option for me in the long run. An ICAO ATPL or a JAR ATPL?

Do the airlines care about nationality? or is it about experience? (mind you I have a UK Ancestry Visa)

I would appreciate any advise from people that may have been in a similar situation before.

Cheers

Conners
