I think not. The point about splitting the PNRs is key. If you no-show the BA flight they (BA) will (try to) cancel the rest of your reservation (the whole thing, not just the BA bits) and cancel the ticket. Just having a boarding pass doesn't stop them from cancelling your reservation.
Whatever you try to do you are breaking the rules by not getting the BA flight so there is a risk attached.</font>
I definitely wouldn't no show the BA flight -- not worth the risk. I guess my question is whether there is any chance, notwithstanding the no-change-to-the-first-international-flight rule, I could show up at the AA counter on the day of my flight and get an AA agent to change my BOS-LHR flight to the AA flight (i.e., actually change it in my PNR so I wouldn't be a no show)?
