FAA or EASA cpl/ir or both....

Hello all, was hoping to trawl the forums for some ideas for CPL/IR training. I have done my 14 EASA ATPL exams (Bristol GS- highly recommended) and have now found myself living in the west side of the USA for next year or so. Debating whether to do an FAA cpl/ir while I am here, or wait until I am back in UK to do an EASA cpl/ir or would it be worth doing the FAA license and converting to an EASA?

With recent news announcements with AA and so on is it even worth doing an EASA license and just stay in USA to do flying here? (ability to work in states not an issue) Although it would be a shame to let the ATPL exams go to waste.

Any thoughts or ideas from anyone or people who have found themselves in a similar situation, would be gratefully appreciated.
