AA927 - Delay Reason
Can someone look up the reason for the delay of AA927 (DCA-JAX) for today? It's my plane's inbound flight and I'm curious the reason for the significant delay. Thanks in advance!

Is there any service that people use to monitor travel waivers?
I use ChangeTower to monitor the Travel Alerts page - https://www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/travel-alerts.jsp - but it isn't totally real time and can have a lot of noise (as cities are added/removed to existing waivers, etc).
I find it useful to monitor the page so I can get ahead of any disruption - but I'm curious if there's a more direct way of getting alerted to waivers.

It's been a few months since this happened but I had the following situation:
I was on a a bit weird itinerary LGA-DCA-PHL-ZRH. The LGA-DCA was on time but DCA-PHL delayed and I would have missed the long haul flight PHL-ZRH. I had already checked-in at LGA but just before boarding got a notification that I couldn't be automatically rebooked and to see an agent.
It turned out the only option was to fly the next day which I couldn't do. So asked the agent to remove the LGA-DCA and DCA-PHL leg out of the reservation and instead took the Amtrak to Philadelphia and eventually was able to catch that flight.
The question here is: Do I have the right for compensation?

I remember it was late because the incoming flight from Westchester Country was late but I don't know what the problem with that flight was. It is not just the Amtrak ticket, also cab rides from LGA to NY Penn Station and from Philadelphia 30th St to PHL. Also my bag was missing too obviously because if they unloaded my bag from my plane on leg one it would have taken at least an hour to pick it up but I didn't have that time to catch the train.

DFW tomorrow weather
Starting after 3 it’s forecasted to be nasty weather. I have a 12:20 positioning flight to CLT to get my FRA connection. There are really no other alternatives only flights that leave DFW later via LHR.
Think I’ll be fine or try for an earlier CLT flight (haven’t even checked if there is any availability). I received the travel alert from AA just now.

If it were me, I’d take an earlier flight, just to get to CLT. Weather moves east.
