I want to say since the ticket isn't in my name, we are pretty much losing control of the ticket. Due to the circumstance, I don't think we'll be able to get the co-worker to assist in any form of reimbursement or using it later for other travel...

Thanks
The named pax has control. (You might be able to cancel it - esp if you have the PNR, but the name on the ticket will retain control of any residual value with AA. Anotherwords, tkts are not transferrable.)
