Don't wait. Call now and try to get rerouted while there might be better availability.

My flight is still showing as on time. Looks like wait and see at this moment till AA come up with plan for 7M8.
Besides that, cancellations really are happening. So I would wait a few more min, then call back. |

Looking at schedule availability out of MIA now, things look like a real mess. Should get interesting. This is the kind of thing that years of fleet rationalization and squeezing every seat cannot predict. There's now no slack in the system.

Don’t wait, HUCA and/or escalate. middle seats await the slow, )and maybe the quick too) |
You will have to look at your PNR and email to see if AA automatically rescheduled you. (As the grounding order is very fresh, it will take Dispatchers a bit of time to accomplish this.)
AA hasn’t posted any travel alerts or policy as yet. Link. If the reschedule is not to your liking, they may refund or reaccommodate you. It’s best if you’re aware of available alternative flights when you call. If you’re scheduled to fly imminently, contact AA. |
There is no travel alert or policy published on the appropriate page on aa.com, and I suspect it will take time to reschedule people, substitute aircraft and identify available crew.
Telephone agents have the |
Am in the same situation, flight departs tomorrow and so far no update. Am in the Admirals Club currently and desk agents say unless the flight is cancelled in the system there is nothing they can do. What will probably happen is the flight will either be replaced by another 737 aircraft, or a A320, and if not then it will be cancelled and we will be rebooked through some other connection and flight. Will keep monitoring and call AA to see what happens. |
EXP agent got bulletin when I spoke with him. Flights through April 4th on the 737 max can be rescheduled without penalty.

New post on the front page of aa.com. Not a lot of info on actual dates that pax can reschedule flights.

As it states I the Wikipost at the top of the page:
This thread is STRICTLY dedicated to discussing alternative arrangements and policy resulting from the FAA emergency order grounding all USA carriers’ Boeing 737 MAX 8 (and MAX 9) aircraft. This has grounded all 24 7M8 / 737 MAX 8 aircraft American Airlines has in service. To discuss the 737 MAX 8s withdrawal from service and related issues apart from reaccommodation related issues, please post in Recent 737 MAX 8 crashes and effects on AA 737 MAX 8s (NOT reaccomodation). Some posts not adhering to the narrow purpose of this post have moved to the thread linked to above. Thank you for keeping this IROPS/OSO thread immediately useful to members previously scheduled to fly on one or more of the 85 daily flights AA flights operated with Boeing 737 MAX 8s prior to today’s grounding order.

Telephone agents may have ad how policy, so if you’re flying imminently, call. If not, I’d recommend waiting a bit. Check your email and PNR for reaccommodation, and on the App for alternatives. |
I was told by an AA agent that flights up until April 3rd can be rebooked.
