I am on a DONE04 (1st flight was Feb 2014, it was ticketed Dec 2013) routed MIA-ORD-PSP. When I tried to change the dates to September I was told that AA no longer offers non-stop service ORD-PSP after 6/9/14, and that I will have to pay the $125 change fee if I route via DFW/PHX. I thought I was protected against involuntary re-routes.

Thoughts? Advice?

(From the OW downloadable timetable, it appears the Chicago service resumes 11/6/14).
