JAA in the USA

Hello everyone looking for some advice. I'm a US citizen with a valid EU passport and I would like to train to be able to fly the commercial jets in the shortest amount of time. Typically in the US it's very difficult to be hired by a main-line carrier, and so I am looking into the JAA option to be able to fly in Europe. However, I would like to do my studies in the US and I've found a few schools such as OFT, Naples, EFT, etc. which had had mainly negative reviews. I have yet to find a JAA approved flight school in the USA that has been given good overall ratings. Does anybody know of any? Since I have the option of either training for a FAA or a JAA, should I opt out on the JAA route in order to secure a job in Europe more easily? Or are the chances of that just as minimal as securing a good flying job in the US? Thanks for any input.
