There's a rumor that US will be moving to oneworld around 11/1 of this year. Right now an employee posted that he saw it somewhere, but we don't have anything concrete yet.
As someone else mentioned, you could fly RDU-ORD on AA nonstop, credit to American. The US and AA programs will be merged eventually.
Or since you're close to US status now, then just stick with them.
This may throw a wrench into your plans of redeeming for travel to Asia. Well you'd just have to look at other carriers.
Given the uncertainty with US remaining in Star Alliance for very long, I'd avoid booking travel on UA, if your goal is to credit to US and get US status.
That's a very helpful point. I think United will probably be okay in September, don't you?
The travel to Asia thing is annoying. I should have left my miles from my last trip to Asia on Asiana instead of putting them on USAir. Although I knew about the American merger, it somehow hadn't occurred to me that it would end the affiliation with *A. Now I'm waiting to see what happens, and thinking that I may end up flying to Asian on Cathay Pacific. Our specific goal is Vietnam. There were lots of possible itineraries with *A.
