Not even close....
First Class passengers on US are exempt from the 1st and 2nd checked bag fees. They are not exempt from the overweight bag fees and this bag was clearly overweight on US and AA (both airlines define their maximum at 50 lbs).
So, while US may have chosen to waive the fee as a one off to an F passenger, AA was under no obligation to do so.
