This is the major downside of booking it as an AA ticket. The change may take a week or longer to get through to AA and AA/Expedia won't touch it until the cancellation goes through. Thus you are in a waiting game and by the time you get the notification and are allowed to change to a new flight option, others may already have taken your preferred seats.
