On page 152 in the inflight magazine for AA "American Way" they print their statement with regard to Nut Allergy.

"Although we don't serve peanuts, we do serve other nut products (such as warm nuts) and there may be trace elements of unspecified nut ingredient, including peanut oils, in meals and snacks. Additionally, other customers can bring peanuts or other tree nuts onboard. We can't accommodate requests not to serve certain foods or to provide nut "buffer zones". Our planes are cleaned regularly, but can't guarantee the removal of nut allergens on surfaces or in the air filters. Because of this, we can't guarantee you won't be exposed to peanuts or other tree nuts during flight, and we strongly encourage those with allergies to take all the necessary medical precautions before flying"

So they have set out their position quite markedly, no doubt to cover themselves and I can't remember ever hearing anything about nut allergies on AA aircraft.
