Acquiring the JHAS pets is the easy part -- 200/400 lobi or 500/1000 zen whatever, I am sure it would be character bound.
Give owners of the JHAS an opportunity to rebox the JHAS at a fee of say 1000 zen. Owners who continue to fly their JHAS do nothing. Owners that continue to fly their JHAS and have pets do nothing. Owners that bought the JHAS only for the pets could box up the JHAS and give it to another toon or sell it. They would need to buy pet access before they can buy the Rebox.
Obviously, there are issues with all solutions . . . Crypic has done a wonderful job of painting themselves in a corner.
I used to be in favor of it....but then I noticed how far down the JHAS has gone in terms of actual power or uniqueness....
the only thing the JHAS has to offer over the new Escorts is the frigate pets....though I think they should be for all full carriers so long as you have the JHAS.
Other lobi/lockbox carriers have frigates. Seems out of place that you would need a ship to unlock the jhdc jhas frigates...thus an argument is valid
The only true way to deal with this is to give those with a jhas some sort of amazingly fantastic item as compensation for having the jhas before it becomes a auto unlock.
Similar to the veteran boff when the old currency was revamped to current...but better

It is the way the game is going
