Yesterday I ended up having two flights cancelled on AA from NYC to MIA. Spent the night in NY at my expense, etc...

AA put me on an early morning CO flight to FLL from EWR. I was speaking to the gate agent about the new stand-by policy and was told the following.

"If your flight is cancelled due to a weather related event, you will have to pay the new standby fee in order to be accomodated on a later CO departure. If you decide to not pay the standby fee, you will not be allowed to fly and may receive a refund of the unflown portion of your ticket."

Has anyone else been given this information?
