There is an AA policy.
With seperate tickets you do not have a
connection
A connection is between flights on the same intinerary
Not quite. A connection is between flights on the same
ticket.
While it is said, note my use of the disfavored passive voice, that OW carriers will protect across tickets and various people quote various employees of OW, a marketing alliance, as committing carriers to this, nowhere is this written such that agents must do it.
AA used to have such a policy published on its customer-facing website. That is now gone. It appears on its TA-only pages. No idea whether AA mistakenly removed the commitment from its consumer-facing website or mistakenly left it on its TA website.
Here, it's unlikely that QR will do anything to help as it isn't causing a misconnect. This will be about heading to BA on arrival at AMS and asking to be accommodated under the supposed OW policy and holding one's breath.
