Carol,

I think the problem with Boucharda's response is that MY original post was referencing 1596 in April 2015 which they may not have picked up on.

The other posters problem is for January 2016. But the fact still remains, as far as I can see, AA#1596 does still exist and flies out of JFK on January 16, 2016 according to the AA schedule. If they were all booked on that flight originally and were moved to different significantly different flights both in time and number of stops, AA should move them back at no charge to them AS LONG AS THERE ARE SEATS AVAILABLE. At least, that's what they e always done with us when these changes have happened.
