The situation is bizarre. JAL allowed OP to choose two J seats from LAX to BKK via Tokyo "last week," but then the reservation suddenly disappeared on Dec. 21, after receiving a pre-departure email? If the rescheduling had occurred three months ago, what would explain this other than shenanigans on JAL's part?
No, because AA doesn't rebook people onto flights two days later on a daily basis to the extent that there would be a need for widespread litigation.
Again, this logic doesn't hold up. If I book (arbitrary flight numbers) AA 212 today for next August, AA rebooks me a month onto AA 349 from now, months pass, I make plans based on AA 349, and then AA 212 gets delayed, I would suddenly be held responsible for making plans that were at risk because of AA 212? Never in a million years.
