AA wouldn't do it for me. I got a refund from AA and rebooked myself on JetBlue. I was actually holding the JetBlue flight on a refundable basis as I had a suspicion AA would cancel and rebook me on something totally unacceptable. I was right, but the belt and suspenders approach worked, though it cost a bit more.
