3. if you don't want to take BA, tell AA pretty simple.
4. Don't take it personal. I doubt AA wants to leave a planeload of people stranded, but at times, .... happen.

chicagoflyer1976 is referring to AA151, CDG-ORD, so EU may apply.

i was booked ok cdg -ord on 10/9, had seats 6a and 7a. Rebooked ok crap British airways. I’m beyond upset about this. Now I can’t get any work done on BA .... planes. Anyone know what I need to do to get the EU compensation?
Do you need to leave 2 hours earlier than scheduled? Are you getting back to ORD more than 4 hours later?
If any one of those is true, you may be eligible for EU261/2004 compensation as long as the cause is not 'exceptional circumstances' and the cancellation could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken by AA.
I presume there has been no downgrade in cabin class (other than AA to BA).
