Thats how I got this combination.

I have a 3 hour layover in LAX, therefore I actually could check in again, but I do not want to move through the airport with all the bags, second I would have to pay the baggage fee.
Did you rebook this yourself as two seperate tickets? Or did UA do this for you, or did you book it as one ticket through an online travel agent? As long as its one ticket you will be protected. US and AS have interline agrements so you can check your bag all the way through. If you're on one ticket no need to recheck and if your US flight is deleyed enough to miss your connection you will be rebooked by US.
