Check with AA. I had a similar problem on Delta. Delta cancelled my outbound flight. I wanted to keep the return, but they would not allow it without charging me the fare difference (and the difference was substantial — over 3x the price of round-trip). Was effectively forced to fly Delta — ended up at my destination but was substantially delayed.
