Eagle pilots don't worry you are not included in these new rules.
BE24, couple of points.
First, AA pilots have gone well out of their way to help get me on an airplane numerous times over the last 20 years. I assure you that AA pilots are your friend.
Second, life isn't fair; as long as AA is bigger and has a larger route structure than your carrier, their management will assume they are superior to your airline and that you need them more than they need you. It is what it is.
Third, the Golden Rule applies.
Finally, commuting requires an exceptionally thick skin. Just smile and move on.
