One thing I am sure of : AA's FF program will get devalued. So for me, why would I change and start pretty much at the bottom again?
I nominate this as the insightful post of the year!
However, I respectfully suggest that jumping to AA or AS is a reasonable option. If and *WHEN* these last good ff programs slash benefits, one can always jump back to the least horrible airline of the day.
