Not that AA won't give you anything, if asked, but according to the "terms", you aren't owed anything.
The OP should know better than to ask that here. According to most of the FT evangelists AA could make you pay for first class and transport you in the cargo hold and not "owe" you anything.
Here is the real deal -- if you paid with miles for F class and they don't transport your F class then you are owed the difference in miles.
