Hello,
Just found out that my connection time in LAX for my SJC-HNL trip has shrunk from 63min to 21min:
AA815 SJC-LAX dep 1050a arr 1209p (was 1000a-1127p)
AA283 LAX-HNL dep 1230p arr 307p
Should I be concerned about this relatively tight connection? Are these flights normally in different terminals? Could I ask AA to reschedule my flights w/o change fee? Any help appreciated.

Yes, you should be concerned. 21 minutes is not a legal connection time and you may find yourself in a bind. I recommend you get on the phone with AA and figure out what they plan to do to help you (guarantee to hold the flight, put you on a different flight [request upgrade since this is essentially denied boarding for your first one]) or something else --- and get that agent's name.
