I frankly fail to believe that their recruitment policy had anything to do with them burning through their initial investment too fast
(apart from any slice that CTC might have taken, but they could have kept it in-house and still applied same criteria).
I fail to understand how selecting ex-airline/MIL crews could bring about the hasty demise of JR. Maybe if the setup had been running for some time and HR was unable to pick individuals from those backgrounds that would fit the operating parameters - but not before their first in-house op was flown. Their reasons for selecting people from a certain background could have been very valid and might have worked in their favour in the long run... but that wasn't to be. My condolances to all who got aboard before she went under
