as already mentioned before, since August 1st the requirements for the FAA ATPL have changed substantially, as stated in PART 61.156 (see the following link):
eCFR ? Code of Federal Regulations
I'm not quite sure if going for the EASA ATP instead (formerly know as JAA) would be the easier way, since you'd most likely still have to study and take all of the 14 EASA exams, as long as you don't have the EASA ATP theory credit on your JAA license - if so, then the EASA route is the way to go. If not, then the FAA way is probably the (far) better choice, in terms of time and cost efficiency.
