JJ aren't looking for Captains - only expat F/O's, apparently they can't offer enough baubles to encourage the local F/O's to fly with them and/or remain with them.
Why??
JJ DID have around 12-15 gaijin Captains a couple of years ago - however a "purge towards purity" was undertaken and now there's a couple...if that.
What there IS is a number of court cases taken by Captains against JJ pending - including a couple of local Captains, very un japanese like!
Cheers.
