MileSAAver is an American Airlines product, so no. They're referring to US Airways Advantage Fares, a strategy to compete with other legacy nonstop routes by providing a cheaper 1 stop routing on US. For example:
For a trip from Miami to Cincinnati on Aug. 13 and returning Aug. 14, the US Airways Advantage Fare was $471 for one stop compared to $740 on a non-stop American flight, according to the Justice Department.
