For AA, if you check in online you typically get seated together (if they have seats available) starting from the back of the plane. So the longer you wait the more likely you are to 1) get seated in the front of the plane, and 2) get separated as a group.

how does AS assign saver seating at checkin.

thanks.
dc9703 did you travel already? if so, what was your experience? i am debating booking saver seats for 4 but on a 737.
