However, in practice and reality you will have no problem, especially just for a few tickets. AA is just happy to take your money for all 3 tickets, as you said otherwise you could book the other tickets with UA or DL. If you were flying this kind of routine for months on end then AA might speak up, but in this case it will be no problem at all.

Is this acceptable given your risk tolerance?
Thanks, I had to idea what it was called but figured if i posted here someone would know. Yes, since its Europe my tolerance is so so, i wanted to know the details before doing anything and no I probaby wouldn't now knowing what you guys said but I might do it i i can book on two different carries, that will not a be a problem right since presumably one carrier will not know about the other so they technically it shouldn't violate anything? I haven't quite worked out if there are that signifact savings this way as opposed to just paying maybe $100 ore for the outright tickets, I really have to do the math and see if it makes sense since it would require all sorts of keeping up with tickets. but thank you guys, i won't try to pull this off with just AA since like PP said, I do not want to have an issue down the line.
eta: i asked here because it seemed too good to be true and im glad i asked.
