That is not Oneworld policy. AA has a policy on that. While some have suggested that Oneworld has an unpublished policy that *once you are checked in* for a journey they will generally protect you, which would apply here, this very long thread explains otherwise. "All of this sums up as there being no OW policy requiring rebooking across tickets in IROPS."

Either way, that is not what "interlining" is. As for whether people on here have referred to what you wanted to do as interlining, maybe they were wrong.
Don't trust me?

In addition, the fact remains that this should serve as a lesson that the MCT is not necessarily the "wise MCT", especially where the flight you are connecting to is only once a week.
"Going crazy" on Twitter is not going to help you. Be courteous and brief in describing your problem to people, do not rant about "Worlds Apart Alliance." Your problem is a problem with a specific ticket issue.
