The majority of European J pax are pax connecting to a longhaul J flight in CDG. Given that Joon will fly many important feeder cities, they need to keep J.
A few years ago, there were a lot of brainstorming at AF whether they would discontinue European J. The "European" team saw it as a loss-making product, but the "longhaul" team wanted to keep it. The answer was obvious.
