Actually, AA does have a policy regarding change of aircraft type.............
I used it recently when my 777 was swapped for a 738 from MIA to DFW and I lost my economy seats booked in the premium economy section
I was able to switch to an earlier flight, also into prem economy which I originally didn't take because it was much more expensive on a cruise day (1:40PM)

(Edit)
I have found it in the international rules, does it actually exist in the domestic rules?

(C)SCHEDULE CHANGE IN THE EVENT, AFTER TICKET ISSUANCE, SCHEDULE CHANGES ARE MADE BY AA THAT:
  • (I)AFFECT A PASSENGER'S DEPARTURE AND/OR ARRIVAL BY 2 OR MORE HOURS;
  • (II) RESULT IN THE ADDITION OF AN INTERMEDIATE STOP ON THE PASSENGER'S ITINERARY;
  • (III) RESULT IN A SUBSTITUTION OF EQUIPMENT NOT ACCEPTABLE TO THE PASSENGER; OR
