I have Global Entry and precheck, so the domestic leg should have pre-check. Two separate PNRs (int'l leg is an award, domestic is paid). One checked bag, but it should be priority tagged. It's going to be the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend.
How worried should I be?
GE should make customer no huge issue. While you should be ok with PreCheck bag delivery at MIA is very, very slow and Priority Tags are routinely ignored. In fact, you can expect your bag to come out last before coming out first. Both are AA flights so you would be protected and would be put on the next available flight to DCA (or IAD/BWI if those airports would work for you).
