Only sliver of hope: in that specific merger, it would almost certainly be AAdvantage that survives. The branding, the Oneworld alliance, the IT systems...everything. So maybe, just maybe, the FFP side of things would stay more like AA and less like US.

I find myself looking at the situation similarly. I am concerned about the value of my family's AAdvantage miles going forward, but optimistic at the possibility of merging them with Dividend Miles, which may increase the value of the latter for our purposes.
