cmvidini, yes the ATR is a very efficient aircraft to fly in Icing Conditions, and from ground to FL250 you will actually often fly in those conditions

Finding a job depends on many factors, some people struggle to find a job even with an ATR type rating, some others manage to get their first job on the B767 with no hours, no experience.
You'll need to be at the right time and at the right place. I dont know which ATR or Boeing operator is currently recruiting. You'd better be at least 95% sure you'll get a job before going for a type rating, especially during this economic crisis, because after 6 months without flying on type you won't interest many employers, and after 12 months you'll need to do an LPC (3000 euros I guess )
