You won't fly under the radar - CX will not alllow the passenger to check in without a ticket number in the booking
For the journey mentioned however, I think that the only fare that AA will be able to sell will likely be "exhorbitant". a r/t journeyt using CX out and JL back is likely to require an expensive fare so you may not save money with advance purchase
