We are 3 business class seats so I would need qatar to force open seats for me like they must have to switch me onto the morning flight.
If the flight you want has award availability, yes, absolutely. Just call and have the agent make the change. If not, you can call AA and ask the agent to send a request to Qatar Airways to make the change. There's no guarantee QR will change it, but they might, given that your ticketed flight was cancelled.
