Not exactly (on a couple of points ;-).)
Before RAH, there was American Eagle, a wholly owned subsidiary of AMR corp. AMR corp owns a company called American Airlines which operates "other than permitted aircraft types." When this language was negotiated we were already code-sharing with AE in LAX. Your argument would not hold up in a grievance.
Because you wish something to be true doesn't always "stretch" to the truth.
