Do any airlines recruit new FOs with limitations on their medicals?

I have a JAA Class 1 medical with an "OML" limitation on it due to eyesight, which means I can only fly EASA aircraft commercially on multi-crew aircraft. My FAA medical doesn't have any limitations (though I have a SODA) but an FAA licence is about as much use as a chocolate teapot if you are looking for a job in Europe (yes, I know you can still fly N-reg but they are all bizjets looking for experienced crews, and even then everyone is very nervous about the potential impact of the new licencing rules).

Does anyone know if there are airlines out there who will recruit new FOs with an OML limitation? Most of them seem to have a requirement of "Class 1 medical with no restrictions". If anyone has experience / knowledge to the contrary I would appreciate hearing about it.
