American Regional Affiliate Employees will be accommodated on the American Network at priority AAC
All travelers (regardless of employing airline) will be accommodated in the order in which they appear on the flight priority list. Agents must not accommodate out of that order.
Travel is valid in the Economy cabin only. Upgrades to Business or First class are not permitted.

While a gate agent may have incorrectly boarding someone out of order, this manual directly says that is incorrect and that agent could get disciplined for it.
This rules now apply to the LUS system where PREVIOUSLY it was as you described, there was some priority based on whose metal it was. Now it is the LAA system.
Hope that clears it up some.

I've been at a USAir wholly-owned for a year and I'm very satisfied with the flight benefits. I travel a lot internationally with my other half and have always been able to get a seat. With the new time of check-in system at AA, I will greatly benefit. I can use a travel pass and move ahead of everyone else on the stand-by list by checking in within seconds of the 24-hours mark. I guarantee I'm lot quicker with key strokes than some old mainline FA or pilot. I've bumped non wholly owned pilots off the jumpseat of a USair flights several times based on my priority level and it has made a big difference when commuting on USair flights.

All flights regardless of who operates them are considered "American Airlines Network" flights. All non-wholly owned regional carriers are considered "American Regional Affiliate Employees" (formerly called AMR regional Affiliates).

And tbh, I do not know/remember how it will be when the travel procedures are fully combined.

Additionally, new JS priority also states on AA metal JS priority is LAA/LUS then Envoy then PSA/PDT then all other airlines and on US metal priority is LUS/LAA then PSA/PDT then Envoy then all other airlines and obviously each carrier has JS priority on their own metal.
