AA will not interline bags on separate tickets. Even for AA to AA.
--> Separate ticketing / PNR: AA, oneworld, through baggage & protection issues > 2016

JAL to AA on the way back OK. But moot as need to process USA immigration & customs with all bags at port of entry.
-->JAL will continue to interline to other oneworld carriers on separate PNRs
