Unlikely that UA will do anything to status match US Air, both are * alliance and they'd be poaching from their own partner.
Maybe see if you could start crediting your trips to a UA frequent flier account, while enjoying your US status for this entire year. That way you'll get full miles for the flights you're taking. It may be technically complicated to do so, but might be your best option if you can use the *A benefits from the US air status but start accruing the miles to a UA account and your elite status there.
Seriously though, US Air and UA sections would likely be a lot more value for you on this question
