It's still issued on the stock of the ticketing airline (001 for AA), but (this was also new to me) they can use any OW carrier's fare basis. That's how AA was ticketing as they pulled their own ex-CAI fare a long time ago. Maybe one of the travel agents will chime in with more detail on the ins and outs of that.
