In this circumstance, where AA is changing the flights, do I have the option to reject the change, and ask for a refund on what is normally a non-refundable fare?
The "earlier" (i.e. NOT the duration of the new layover) part would likely comprise the bulk of my argument. You simply can't make it there, and it's on them to come up with a tenable solution. I believe you might actually have some form of EC261 protection to fall back on, if needed, but it probably won't come down to that.
