Almost. American pilots can pass in seniority order, but with flight time leveling restrictions. Based on how many hours they have flown they are put into different groupings in seniority order. This acts as a leveling mechanism - I believe they can only pass within their groupings. This would be similar to DAL allowing us to pass within our days of availability groupings. They also have something like our short call - I believe it is called a RAP.

The one thing to me that stands out between Americans and DALs reserve system is that there seems to be a lot less randomness to trips being assigned at AMR. Just like at DAL you can always get called out, but at AMR you can usually see the logic and mostly see it coming.
