NJS are working towards a second AOC. As much as the company would like the employees to believe that there is nothing sinister in this, I can picture that NJS at some point (like when Qantas announce the addition of a new jet type such as the Embraer 170), will reinvent itself as an even lower cost operator using the new AOC with cheaper crews. Unless they do this there will be little to distinguish their cost structure from that of Airconnex.
Remember when Wazza tried to use a separate AOC to introduce the EMB145?
