At AMR we are all the same priority code for boarding, whether AA or AE when we NONREV, and it is based on check in time. If I check in 30 seconds before a 777 captain for AA, I would get on the AA flight first, when NON REVING. You can not beat that.
Rick, I'm 99% sure that AA crew have priority over AE crews when non-reving on American flights. A couple of months ago I was bumped by an AA dispatcher of all people and I was there LOOONG before he was. Various gate agents have also refused to give me the JS on AA until the last second because, "an American pilot may show up..."
It works the other way as well...on Eagle flights we have priority over AA crews.
