I would love to fly anything other than AA to get me to Asia since I'm continuing to KUL, but it will be hard to find space since we are two in F and 3 in J.
I also found CX not opening up remaining f seats last summer. My husband was in F and they wouldn't open anything up to AA miles. It flew with two seats empty in f and I sat in J.
Sounds like they are flying a 787, personally I would see if they can get you on the JAL 787 with the business sky suits. Regarding the miles, I would think that AA has down graded the aircraft they should give you some miles back.
