What could Jim be suggesting? Are AJ's parents not dead then?

Honestly I think they're just traveling or something. AJ has a high opinion of family and she's likely lonely. Even in the Days Gone By song on the Christmas album (not implying that shit is canon but still) she only mentions them not being near. It could imply that they're dead but I feel like they're making it vague enough that they can introduce them in the show whenever they want with some bullshit explanation about how they're the johnny appleseeds of equestria and they've just been spreading apples or traveling for new varieties to help the farm. Considering you don't see Applebloom during AJs cutie mark flashback I think we can assume she wasn't born yet, and her parents aren't present either, so perhaps they came back to leave her with Granny Smith and then went on their way again. I'm rambling but I just don't think Hasbro would deal with actual death. They'll never openly say they're dead at least.
He's trolling you. They're gone

They're implied dead until Hasbo releases the death certificate.

Bet my dick they pretty much will give the Arnold's parents treatment, revealing to be missing in some place or being on an adventure

Or cop out by not mentioning them at all.
Only Fluttershy and Scootaloo are the only ones left where neither of their families are mentioned, but Flutters has her brother visiting this season asCMC shipbait

He's not trolling. That's not something they'd troll about.

They went to the distant village to deliver some pies.
Lauren Faust herself said that she wanted to establish that AJ's parents were dead, but it that was never something she established.
"To put it bluntly, we just never figured it out. I just liked the feeling of them living with their Granny, but keeping the family dynamic tight and small. To be honest, I would like to simply say that they passed away somehow, but it's just too sad for a kids' show and I don't think it would have ever been approved. There was brief discussion of them being traveling salesponies or explorers, but since we never needed the information in an episode, nothing was ever made official. So it will have to remain a mystery until someone decides to define it."

Perhaps the staff are going to define it then.

I always though to the apples much like in the same manner of Pippi. Everyone says her parents are dead but she never looses hope after they are separated at sea. I feel the same with the apples that perhaps their parents are "Presumed" either dead or missing somehow but are trying to find their way back to each other. We won't know for sure till it is announced but it is nice to still keep everyone guessing.
