CLT-SAT on AA in first 1:09pm-2:56pm

-The ticket is on 001 stock and all flights are on the same ticket.
-I've been assured the 9K will through check the bags at RKD all the way to SAT.
-9K arrives Terminal C and AA departs Terminal B. Is there a way to stay airside at Logan or does this require going outside of security? We do have Pre Check.

-Will 9K print AA boarding passes? I guess I should check in online before we get to RKD just in case 9K cannot check us in all the way through.

Any other comments, suggestions are appreciated.
I don't know about the bags. Get mobile boarding passes for AA. Yes, you have to leave Terminal C where Cape Air arrives and re-clear security in Terminal B for AA. You have two choices; one, walk around on the departure level to Terminal B, two, go down to baggage claim in C and walk around to Terminal B. Terminal B is a big U shape. United and Spirit are on the end closet to Terminal C. AA is on the other side. You can clear security on the United side and walk airside to the AA gates or you can walk through the Terminal B parking garage (follow signs to Limo/Taxi) and clear security by the AA gates. I find Per Check on the AA side to be very fast, never waited more than a couple of minutes.

I do this frequently but from Terminal E to Terminal B, same thing but a little further. I can usually do this in under 10 minutes.
