Have you actually read what AA has published on this issue?
That is NOT what AA has itself published.
Haven't read what AA itself has published, have you?
It's not a matter of policy. It's a matter of technically being able to access to your PNR to check-in. AA uses Sabre. CX/BA/QF/AB/AF/KL (to name a few) use Amadeus.
You can show AA website to Flagship Check-in door guard all you want but doesn't do you any good once you get inside if they can't access Amadeus PNR to check you in.
If you were flying AA to connect to CX, then yes you can use Flagship Check-in because AA will have access to AA and connecting CX flight as the Sabre PNR will contain both segments.
Now if you are referring to checking in to a ex-JFK CX F flight plated by AA (ticket begins with 001), then yeah, you might be able to technically pull it off. But if it was a ex-JFK non-AA issued ticket, good luck.
