BA doesn't code-share anything out of AVL, so I can't book on BA - and don't want separate tickets because of checked luggage and the risk of misconnecting.

Any tips on how to accomplish this?
AA likely isn't making any award space available to BA. Since you don't want separate tickets you're going to have to find availability on both flights at the same time, which will be difficult, and may not be possible if you have strict dates. Your best bet would be to set up an alert on an award search site so you don't have to keep checking
