JJ is looking at expanding aggressively and taking some of the carrier's routes hence the priority. Also with their acquisition of the Dash 8 without sufficient pilots is a loss in making and as a LCC that can turn very bad for them!
Remember the Code Sharing agreement signed between the carrier and JJ last year, the carrier now can sell JJ network to passengers coming from across the world also adds to the urgency of them operating to optimum levels!
Canada? wow! that must have costed a bit of a coin for JJ considering ET has a fitted and maintained Q400 Sim trainer from CAE. Also certified by all international agencies!
To all waiting to hear from the carrier, your patience will be tested beyond belief! All the best and good luck to those who have made it into the next stage!
