At LAX, there are fine-grained minimum connect times for different incoming and outgoing flight numbers. Essentially, there are different MCTs for Eagle-mainline, Eagle-Eagle, mainline-mainline, Eagle-codeshare partner, and mainline-codeshare partner, all with different times for domestic-domestic, Canada-domestic, domestic-international, international-international, etc. The default ID MCT is 90 minutes. LAX-AUH is not AA-operated, so it’s probably that default time that matters; it’s not relevant for an AA-AA connection. The AA-AA MCT is 40 minutes.
