Silly question, but why are you subjecting yourself to that?
Loyalty only makes sense if you're getting back something close to or more than what you're investing. If you're not then the loyalty you're expressing is really a waste of your time and money.
Is the Mileage Plus program really that much better than AAdvantage that you're getting good value for the extra effort you're investing? It doesn't seem such based on what you've posted.
