I think they ARE refunding nonrefundable tickets. The SAN guy today sounded like his in-laws bought a ticket well in advance. Why would AA suddenly start refunding tickets (as opposed to a credit with change fee) if you are suddenly unable to fly? There has to be a reason the agents know they will immediately refund the ticket and they need a supervisor...
