No problem. When everyone fought to bring Hal back it was assumed that he would return to his rightful place as a full time member of the JLA, but....
the narrative of DC has been...(Intentional or not) you can have Hal back but he will never ever be a full time member of the JLA again, unless a special writer (Meltzer) requests it for 12 issues or so.
Being consistently excluded from DC's premier superhero team, only hurts a characters popularity in the long run.
