Given the correction, it would not make sense.
It would have been rather surprising if AA were willing to take on the risk of AA's IRROPS impacting separately-ticketed, non-OW flights just for ticketing on say AA.com. The marginal commissions for acting as a ticketing agent for other carriers could get wiped out pretty quickly by IRROPS recovery on separately-ticketed flights operated-and marketed as non-OW carriers' flights. But it would have been swell for me if AA had put that in place.
