The agent mentioned that the waver has been incrementally extended since it was first issued, and that she expected it would be extended roughly week by week until the mid-east situation was resolved.

The waiver also mentions that it applies when you "Are traveling on an American Airlines flight" so I asked if it would apply to a QR flight number on QR metal (which is what my 4 segments are) and she said that it would because it is part of a RTW ticket issued by AA. The agent stated that they would waive the $125 change fee for changing dates, origins/destinations, and airlines so long as the flights fell within the waiver date limits.

I don't know if you booked through the AA RTW desk, but the waiver details are here:
