A good AA option post-devaluation

Maybe there will finally be another AA code share into PER. Although with the new "terms" that may turn out to be not that useful...

Another airline for wandering?

There has also been talk of MEL.

However, as far as I know, JAL is restricted in what routes they can open for another year or two due to their government bailout when they went through bankruptcy.

..... And our national airline can only operate a single daily 73H service internationally out of PER (and struggles to do that).

We've been through this many times. QF is not THE national airline. It is an Australian based airline with its main international hub in SYD. It offers connections (multiple daily) through that hub to destinations that makes geographic sense to. JL will do likewise (with single daily frequency or less) if the rumour proves to be true.

Qantas is the flag carrier. I'm not sure that's the same thing though.

Reading ABT tonight, there seems that both NH and JL may be interested in the Perth/Tokyo route. More the merrier as they say.

Let's have both please!

I'll drink to that - adding 5 hours to a trip to Tokyo from Perth at the moment is more than a drag.
