In an IRROPS situation at the airport, the agents will usually just treat you like another business class customer, and have more leeway to endorse your ticket into J on a partner.
This. A schedule change/cancellation in advance and you can pretty much only ask for another AA flight. If it's IRROPS in the commonly understood sense (within 24 hours of departure/day of departure) then you're just another J passenger and should be rebooked as such.
