I was supposed to fly a two-leg trip from MKE-ORD-DCA last night on AA. Unfortunately, the bad weather cancelled my MKE-ORD flight and so they booked me onto a Frontier flight instead.

I'm shooting to get elite status with AA and originally paid ~$100 extra for this flight as opposed to a cheaper one with Frontier. My question is whether there's any recourse to get EQM/EQS from AA for this, or if I'm just out of luck?

Thanks!
