That will save us money (cheaper fare) and time (no driving to Charlotte).

It is nice to know that the bag would to go Columbia anyway. In case 15 year old were to mess up connection, we could easily drive to pick up a bored 15 year old in Charlotte and then get the bag later in Columbia.
Umm, unless the teenager is booked on AA's last CLT-CAE flight of the day, if the connection is missed, AA will likely put the traveler on its next CLT-CAE flight with available seats.
