Any chance an American could land a job in Scandinavia?

Okay here is the story. I am an American, live in the states, just landed a job with Virgin America and love it.

However...my girlfriend is a Dane, lives in Copenhagen, and works for SAS. The relationship is looking more and more serious and it is clear she wants to stay in Denmark. I am fine with that, I love it there and would be happy living there. While I know it is possible to live in Europe and work in the USA as pilot - I have a few friends who do it - things would be much easier to get a job over there. Marriage would mean a temporary residency permit and right to work, I guess it takes seven year for permanent residency.

Sooo, IF someone were hiring over there, is the any chance whatsoever that an American, with right to work and a JAA license, could get a job over there? Or should I plan on the transatlantic commute or even possibly leaving aviation?

Much thanks.
