Keeping in mind my home (and neighboring) airports, if I wanted to switch to a different carrier, let's look at what the options are:
* United? They seem to be struggling to get people from point A to B.
* Southwest? No thanks.
* American? It's hubs are poorly placed for about 70% of my travel
* US

By process of elimination, I am stuck flying US.
I can see one realistic possibility of a good outcome for you in the realatively near term. US/AA merge and keep the AA FFP. Maybe not probable, but definately possible, and the odds seem to be increasing daily.
