The one I'm taking about is:
AA to (non-OW) other airline.
Separate tix, different PNRs
Irrops protection provided as long as ticket for other airline is issued by AA
Irrops protection still indicated, obviously, for AA -> OW even on separate tix and separate PNRs
Using aa.com to more frequently buy tickets for non-Oneworld flights (for such protection) may make sense for some of us on trips starting with AA/OW flights that happen to not involve checked luggage.
