That is, unless anyone has had a different experience?
It might also help to phone AA from the UK before you leave if it looks like you might miss your connection.
BA will not be able to issue the BPs - for some reason the system is set up to suppress this for a seperate booking. Even AA at LGW were unable to help - because of the bag recheck you have to reanswer the security questions in the US.
