No, as long as the other carrier that causes the misconnect is oneworld, then AA should protect you.

I say should because even though there is a policy in place, this is another area where the amount of rebooking help you get can be highly variable depending on the airport, situation, agent mood, agent training, etc.

One example I have: few yrs back I was flying VIE-LHR on BA connecting to LHR-RDU on AA, separate tickets. VIE-LHR is delayed, run to the gate to see the RDU flight pushing back. Went back to the AA LHR transit desk where I was rebooked on a later connection via JFK without any issues at all.
