Booking partner award flights on aa.com: which program is next?
Recently, AA has added the capability of using their website to book award flights for the following carriers: Alaska Airlines, British Airways, Hawaiian Airlines and Qantas.
Which partner airline will be the next? Does anyone have any leads?

Can you explain what you mean a little more for us? I'm feeling a bit dense tonight, or I am unable to understand the question. Thanks!

None of us knows. But I'm sure an AA telephone agent (or the sister of the wife of an AA pilot) would be willing to share what she "knows."
I vote for LA first, then CX, then IB, then EY, then AY.
JD, the question is which partner will be added to the AA award booking engine next.

Also, can you add an "is" between "which program" in my title. I don't want to look like a complete fool. Thanks.

Thanks for the edit! Between the new first line and Austinrunner, I get it now - and have changed the title as requested.

Given the BA/IB/AA JBA, I wouldn't be surprised if we got IB sooner than the others (unless their IT is incompatible, which wouldn't surprise me). JL will probably be an early one as well.
