1. Does USDOT and Japanese MOT restrictions apply for US-Canada-HND flight by a US based airline?

2. Can AA make this flight work better by having an early AM arrival/late PM departure to HND as a total opposite of the late PM arrival/early AM departure of JFK-HND?

AA can not fly from Canada to any where except U.S.
AA could do YVR to LAX to connect with their NRT flight
or YVR to SFO to connect with the JAL flight to HND(unlikely as AA does very few non hub touching flights)
