Pass classes, such as D1/2, are only applicable to AA/Eagle flying. The connection to a destination not served by AA is typically handled by a ZED. Those segments are cleared by the partner airline IAW their policies, but in a general sense ZED riders are cleared after all employees, etc. You’ll get top of the ZED stack on Oneworld carriers. All of this is explained in the “A to Z of ZED” and the Travel Guide, both of which are on Jetnet.
One valuable thing to remember is that, per the Travel Guide, FROM other airlines (doesn’t matter if it is a revenue ticket or ZED) makes you eligible to add a T to your D1/2/3. You’ll need to show an AA agent your boarding pass from that first segment, and it will reset your check in time to whichever time you’ve managed to add the T, but this can give you a valuable edge trying to get back Stateside.
