If your friend had not already bought the ticket, I would point you to this thread:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/ameri...d-tickets.html
If your friend is arriving on BA and buys a valid connection on AA, even on a separate ticket, AA/oneworld policies require the delayed carrier to take care of rebooking at no cost.
(AA does fly SFO-LAX and often prices the same as Southwest.)

I have another SFO int'l to domestic connection question as well.
I'm scheduled to land at SFO at 12:30 pm on Air New Zealand #8 (777-300) and I am hoping to make a 1:45 pm US Airways flight to Philadelphia. If I carry on and check in online for US, will I be able to make this flight? I am a US citizen and date of travel is Saturday, September 20. Other option is 4 pm United but does not put me in PHL until 12:30 am.
Thanks

Do you have Global Entry? That would pretty much eliminate the Immigration risk. SFO Immigration is usually pretty fast, but there is always the possibility of delay if several large planes arrive around the same time.

If you arrive on time, this should be no problem. However, it gets a little dicey if you come in after 12:45 pm. Then delays at Immigration or T1 security could blow the deal.
