Is it supposed to be this complicated?!? Here are the full rules

Detailed Fare Rules
The most restrictive set of fare rules applies to the entire itinerary. In addition other fare rules may apply.

City Pair Fare Basis Code Flight
MCI to LAX K7AHZRU1 (Displayed Below)
PHX to LAX
K7AHZRU1
This does NOT look refundable to me. It does not have "cancellations permitted", only "changes permitted" and it notes that if the reservation is not canceled prior to the departure of the flight, the ticket loses value. Most refundable fares do not have this requirement. But OTOH, it also does not say non-refundable. So color me

Also, while I would certainly defer to xiiloper on the intricacies of fare rules, and without checking how AA.com categorizes things, I would interpret "flexible" to mean you can change without a fee (which is basically everything but basic economy), and "fully flexible" to mean it's refundable. Of course if AA.com says something different, then go by that (and take screen caps!)
