JAA ATPL and work in Europe, or FAA ATPL and work in the US?

[captainyonder]

I've recently got engaged to my American girlfriend and it had totally passed over my head that once we're married I'll be eligible to work in the US! I already have an FAA licence (still very low hours!) but am in the process of converting it to a JAA licence at the moment. Basically we're now trying to decide whether I should move to the US and try and get work with a regional over there or whether she should move over here and I'll continue my conversion and try and get a job here instead. Ideally we want to settle in the UK, but I'd be happy to live in the US for 4 or 5 years if I could get work.

I'd really value some informed input on this matter! What are my chances as a low hours pilot in the States and is it worth me moving there?

Thanks in advance!
