AA Boarding Group
Greetings from a long-time lurker, first-time poster.
I've just finished checking in online and got my boarding pass. Now I haven't flown with AA for a couple of months now, but did they change the non-AA Emeralds boarding group? From my past experience, I believe OWE get to have boarding group 2, but on the boarding pass (even when status is clearly indicated on it), it is not the case.
Pretty sure it's just a system error, but I'm just wondering if any other non-AA OWE had this issue today so that I can be assured that it is not targeted to me only.

OWE (other than AA) is still boarding group 2 (personal experience as of last week)
Hopefully just a glitch - ask for a paper boarding pass at the gate.
AA recently moved Executive Platinum (their own Emerald) from group 2 to group 1.

Got it. The reason I asked this because I got Group 7 on my mobile boarding pass (blue background instead of black with no 'Priority' indicated), and Group 7 on aa.com (with Emerald on top next to TSA PreCheck but still no 'Priority').
Wish I could attach the image but new members need to have 5 posts to post the image, but thanks anyways.

Both Executive Platinum and Platinum Pro are now Emerald. PP is group 2 and EP has been moved to group 1 with first class.....

Just ask an agent to remove the FFP # and re-insert it.
I have experienced this issue on most partner issued tickets ( non 001- stock ) on AA and the solution was always to ask and agent to remove and re-insert the FFP number.

^ This. Just head to the gate 15 minutes before boarding and ask to have your FF number removed and re-added.
