Hoping for a better experience tonight!
I would have thought it would make sense to swap the frame on the DFW flight over to the IAD flight (which it seems they have done as the DFW flight has been cancelled already). DFW being an AA hub makes it easier to rebook pax than if they cancelled any other A380 routes, there are 5 AA 777s today, plus they can get pax to DFW in one stop via pretty much any US airport, as everywhere that BA fly to in the US from LHR, AA fly to from DFW.
