BTW passenger might not be a confirmed passenger for comp if BA flight was overbooked. It depends how the AA agent handled the rebooking. (If passenger was confirmed and reticketed vs doing a proper DoD moving of passenger to another carrier (a FIM). Regardless this has no bearing on this situation.
