Well... E75 is operated by American Eagle (Envoy or something), which should still be considered as a regional jet. E190 on the other hand is a LUS mainline flight

Not really. AA will through check baggage on separate tickets if they are booked in the same reservation (PNR). That why it was suggested that OP ask AA to book the revenue IAH-ORD segment inside the award reservation. This way bags will be checked through.

I'm not questioning the OP, but as someone who checks this board daily, and often flies tickets of this type, I'd completely missed if this was possible!

Has anyone been successful doing this? I did not think it was possible to have two separate tickets (one revenue and one an award) on the same PNR?

At an outstation you are probably SOL, but the FL at ORD is a safe bet, and maybe even IAH.
But good luck at MAD, CDG, HKG or even LHR.

must be ticketed by AA and the additional paid segment AA must have a fare.

Whoa - I didn't know you could do that after the fact! That's amazing. I've done it successfully at the time of booking, but never after (I don't think I've tried though). That is great to know that it can be done - the trickier thing is finding a competent enough AAgent.

So if the E-75 is the same inside the cabin as the E-90 then imo its not an RJ, but a small mainliner.
Even SeatGuru lists the E-75 & 90 under narrow body jets and not as Regionals, I consider a regional as any plane that I must gate check a reg size carryon rollerboard due to its extremely small/narrow bins (yet recently on AAs 763 I had to put my bag in the bin sideways since it cant handle reg size cas wheels 1st , yet no problem with UAs 767s). .If I can fit a reg size ca in the E-75 bin its not a regional imo
lastly OP make sure you do your homework before getting to IAH day of travel and know what set of flights youd want should you need to be rebooked, Id have CX flights with 1st and Biz that would work, unless youre willing to try again the next day should 1st be available and hopefully you wont need to use any of it
