American Airlines chief proposes JAL as exclusive Asian partner

This is shameless pandering. A plague on all their houses.

I wonder if either airline will get to perform a "due diligence" check on JAL before signing any binding contract - they owe it to their own shareholders - before they find out exactly how much debt and liabilities JAL really have?

American Airlines is the worst carrier in the history of American aviation. The further expansion of AA must be stopped, or they will destroy the Japanese aviation industry too.

Sounds like an illegal move to stop competition to me.

To me it seems like AA is issuing "Non Endorsable/Non Refundable/Non Reroutable" Certificates but no Cash Awards to JAL.

or they will destroy the Japanese aviation industry too.

i think the locals have done quite a nice job of destroying their own aviation industry without any outside help
