Brit in the USA moving back to the U.K.

Hello everyone. I'm new to this forum so please forgive my ignorance on the current aviation climate in the U.K.

So, I got my JAA PPL about 13 years ago in San Diego California. Met the girl, got married, got the green card, instructed, flew for a regional airline and now fly private. I have Type ratings in the Saab 340, Dash 8 (Q400) and King Air 350 and have over 7,000 hours flight time. Currently looking into my FAA to EASA conversion.

My question is, with my hours and experience, who could I realistically be competitive for? I.E. Flybe considering I have the type or maybe even something a little more lucrative?

Also, how is the hiring environment right now? Its fair to say the pretty much every major airline here in the Sates is hiring and the regionals are practically begging for pilots.

Thanks in advance.
