AA has a published policy of protecting pax who are connecting from AA to OW on separate tickets.

(The policy works in the other direction too; AA being the big dog in OW forces its OW partners to protect pax connecting onto AA.)

Yet another example that if booking a "fairly tight" (OP's phrase for a 95 minute connection) domestic -> international connection, it is better to have separate tickets.

With separate tix, in OP's situation, AA wouldn't even know to inform BA that OP might miss the connection.
