I am not surprise if OW has some rules but they will loosely enforce it as long as airlines don't get over the top with it. AA has always been their own F/EXP first, OWE second. Granted some cases I do see F first, OWE/EXP second. But usually the gate agent will announce F first, or F/EXP first, and then announce OWE and other "priority" boarding.
