If there was a long delay on our DUB-LHR flight and we missed the ORD flight what is AA likely to do? ie Put us on the next flight, make us buy new tickets etc?

Was it not possible to buy this on a single ticket, even with different carriers?
That would be the best way to do this.

I suspect AA would let you go standby on the next day's flight.
The alternative would be to having to pay the change fee and additional fare cost. THis assumes you didn't buy a freely changeable ticket. Other rules of the fare purchased might also affect this.
