Do you guys know at what time AA might be open for more options other then what is available in Saver, which as you can imagine is almost nothing? There are flights to DFW and PHX that could leave before the storm hits or even the other direct flight at 7 am.

Unfortunately there's not much you can do until AA posts a weather waiver for OMA. If that happens, you can call AA immediately and request an earlier option on the OMA-LAX, and there doesn't need to be award inventory.
