Is AA redemption different?
Now, that is a good question and one that I am not certain about. I missed the AA redemption with the AS segment.

I will say though that at T-24, AS certainly does have control of your ticket. If you look at the SDC rules on AS, it only mentions a valid ticket on an AS operated flight. Awards will always be prime flight numbers. There are no exceptions listed for award flights book via other FF programs. AA Elites are carved out as eligible for the waived same-day flight change fees.
