The Protected Pilot group doesn't have the CA requirement nor does it have the "no open disciplinary issues" clause. That's all for those hired after 10/2011. But regardless, I think the OP was implying that an AA pilot assumed that AAG can stop the flow whenever they want for any reason they want.
