You don't need a merger to switch alliances. And there is no excuse the DOJ could give to block it. Given the fact that US and UA are currently in the same alliance. And UA is a larger airline than AA. Also, with UA/AC/LH, there are more shared nonstop routes between those airlines and US than there are between US and AA/BA. I'd wait until US management issues a statement regarding OW and Star.
