I'm not really sure you can do much with just the PNR. To look-up on aa.com, you also need a last name.

And, to be honest, every bag tag has both a PNR and last name on it, which anyone could easily see by standing in baggage claim areas while pretending to look for their own bag. While obviously Twitter is a much bigger forum, my point is that if a PNR was PII requiring protection it wouldn't be on bag tags, boarding passes, etc. I think your risk is low.
