You can only accrue benefits from a single frequent flyer program for any given flight. You'll have to choose:
1) Keep your DL SM number as-is. You'll be entitled to keep your place in the upgrade queue plus all other benefits afforded DL GM's.
2) Switch to your AS MP number. You'll lose your place in the upgrade queue and will only be eligible for benefits given to AS elites. This is the only way the segments will get you closer to 75K on AS.
You may not be able to change your frequent flyer number online, but you will definitely be able to change it at checkin if you really do need to switch. Just be aware you can't mix and match benefits like upgrades compliments of your DL status plus credit the mileage to AS MP.
