Yet they are not cancelling this at the moment just stopped selling them. When you call them they say the flight is still on schedule and obviously AA can't do anything.

They will then cancel this a few days before the flight takes off and obviously there will be very limited options to change then. Kind of unfair gimmicks
The flight schedule has not been finalized for April. The cancellation will happen when JAL publishes the Apr schedule in the next few weeks. You will definitely have more than “a few days” to work with AA to find alternative flights.
