If I were you, I would not pay for the AAdvantage Executive card until the merger is complete. And by the way, when I learned this I was also advised that my $500 annual fee I paid for the Executive card is nonrefundable - no surprise there, given the dissatisfaction many must be discovering when they get stuck with US Airways before the merger.
