When I talked to AA, they said there was no other award availability so there was nothing they could do until the flight was officially cancelled. They said that if and when they get a cancellation notice, they would try to rebook or offer a redeposit of the 30K miles with no fee. Hopefully they honor the latter because I rebooked my itinerary with United miles. Thankfully United usually has great award availability to Europe from SFO especially off peak.
