Why not to ask AA to be moved to a LGA flight and take a cab from LGA to JFK? Bags would not make it - but if you tell them you want to be voluntary separated (from your bag), they would rebook you. For now there is (still) no positive bag match on US domestic flights. Not ideal, but you would make the flight and deal with bags later.

not always the case. My home airport is tampa and i fly to the middle east regularly, usually with etihad. Tampa doesnt have any direct flights to NYC on AA so i usually end up booking a delta or jetblue flight to JFK to connect. So i actually spend more buying two separate tickets but it minimizes my travel time. and lets not get started about AA saaver ticket availability (economy or first)

I'd be pretty pissed with AA if they nickled and dimed me on delays. Like 30 min, then 30 min, all the way to 6 hours. Easily could have grabbed one of the 50 flights out of LAX to NYC if you had time.
Fair warning for everyone on every flight, you book separately and miss your connection, its your problem.
