converting JAA ATPL, type rating to USA

Hi All

I'm a JAA ATPL holder working as a commercial pilot in Europe, who's lucky enough to also have a US passport.

I did all my training in Europe and have only JAA licenses, medical etc.

If I wanted to work for a US airline in the future, what are my options? I know there aren't many jobs now in the USA, but I'm interested in the legal issues relating to license conversion.

I know I can convert a PPL and even an instrument rating (by taking a test) but I could not find any information on converting a full ATPL, let alone a type rating.

Does anyone have any information or links that would be helpful?

Thanks in advance.
