One PNR for both people in business

Is there any way to link any of these tickets under a single PNR so we don't have to pick up our luggage at DOH and recheck it? Ideally we'd have the entire trip under a single PNR. AA Twitter, who are ultra helpful, said that can't be done, we have to leave it the way it is. I couldn't find these awards as a single award, I had to do the two legs as separate bookings.

TIA
No, it is not possible to combine separate PNR's into one after booking.

Even if combining PNR's was somehow possible, you still cannot have pax booked under different fares in the same PNR. So it's not possible to have 1 pax in business and 1 in PE on the same PNR.

AA will not check bags through across separate tix so you need to plan on claiming your luggage in DOH and checking in again.
