While I have never seen/heard low time ppl get hired in europe after getting their type rating in the u.s.a, I do have a friend that got hired with fairly low time after getting his training done at an "embry riddle" like aviation university. Think it was KLM flight something....he flies Fokkers now for KLM.
Thats about all I know....dunno much about JAA rules.

But back to topic....
Does anyone that posts here and is at TSA know the current situation
within the company?
Who actually applied at TSA since they lowered mins?
