They just established a new pay scale that will no doubt attract more warm bodies so it will take some time for them to get a team in place to have checkrides done in house, for the mean time the FAA has no choice but to render assistance even if they don't have a particular reason.
Just my take on it, don't have any vested interest.

Eastern 3.0 is a reincarnation of Dynamic whose 121 certificate got pulled after torching a 76 while taxiing out in FLL in ‘15
That’s the short version

For the record Dynamic’s certificate didn’t get pulled.

Again anyone researching Eastern or interested in applying, just google Ken Wooley, he is the majority shareholder. Mr Wooley has had interests in the past in JetBlue (founding investor), MAXjet, Swift (sold his share to iAero) and has his own aircraft leasing company. He is founder of Extra Space Storage a publicly traded, Self Storage Company, with over 1,700 locations. Ticker is EXR.
Mr Wooley bought Dynamic in bankruptcy, invested his own funds, donated the current aircraft to the company. Then he licensed the Eastern name from Swift and rebranded the company. The 121 certificate was never surrendered or revoked. Late last year we received a large investment to expand the company.
