The story in a nutshell (you can read the Crowdstrike thread in the DL forum if you want more deets) is that I got caught up in the DL meltdown and have yet to leave for my CVG-ATL-AUA flight. Got cancelled and rebooked for Sunday morning but things are still not looking pretty so I went ahead and booked F on AA for CVG-PHL-AUA for today as well at 9:00PM Saturday night.

I haven't flown AA (US) since 2004 so I forgot the old login, set up a new account and proceeded to try to do the VeriFly. This popped up a warning that I had to do that by something like 8:25 Saturday night and that I had to check in at the airport.

So here's my question.

I have my original ticket on DL which is still valid and can get me through security. I'm not checking bags. If the AA checkin counter is nuts at 430AM, can I proceed through security under my DL boarding pass and then go to the gate and check in there?

(If you're wondering why I still have the DL ticket, I'm hanging on to it in case they start requesting VDB's, I'll put an offer in, get rebooked, take the credits then cancel the original flight.)
Too late, but go to the airprot the day prior and check in if check in the day-of doesn't appear to be a good option. By the time the gate agent arrives at the gate the check in deadline will have expired and the seat will be forfeited.
