I know i been asking pretty much the same question over and over and please forgive me.. but is it better right now getting close to 1500 hrs to really focus on getting my atp and see if that would actually help me in getting a job or still try my best to keep my ears to the ground and see what or who really hiring
 
Well if depends on what your goals are. In my case I have an FAA CPL-ME/IR, and I want to fly in Europe. So I took the 14 written exams and now will build time at my current company, get my FAA ATP, then finish the practical part of the certificate conversion.

I took the UKCAA-ATPL (14 of them) papers in year 2009. God darn it...it was tough! I passed all the navigation and technical papers in one sitting.

Pain in the ass. It was equally as tough as JAA/JAR ATPL papers. :ooh:

I bet the UKCAA must be regrettful scrapping away their own examing system and implement JAA/JAR. Just like the UK painfully regretted for not buying over Hong Kong in the 18 Century!

IIRC, with an FAA ATP and current IPC, it should cost less than $200, a few hours for the medical, another couple for the written test then some paperwork. Then there is the requisite waiting period to get your document issued. I did not find the written exam to be a cake walk. Without the right to work in Canada you would experience a whole new set of hurdles. Bonne chance.
