That is because an Award/Upgrade search is for that airline only, not partner airlines or code shares. That's why it states at the top of the results page:
**NOTE** The Award & Upgrade information is only valid for flights flown on the searched airline (not code shares) and only when using miles/points/certificates from the searched airline, not partner airlines.
That aside, AAnytime awards (which is what J is) are not usually valid on partner airlines AFAIK, just SAAver awards. To find out regular award inventory on AA partner airlines, search BA.com or Qantas.com.au using their partner award search tools, or call AA directly.
