Agreed about the insane part, but there are many other aspects of the alliance (and the airilne industry in general) which is equally improbable.
As for there being no additional fuel surchage collection upon check-in, I can confirm that this is indeed the case. Having an e-ticket issued by AA is now a big plus, as it is also easy to change via the AA RTW desk.
