Personally, I don't see the benefit to OneWorld in having a third US airline as a full member -- while the customer experience would benefit, the unreliability would drag everyone else down. The most logical way I could see it happening is through a merger with AA or AS, but not joining on their own.

AA is the largest airline in the world by miles flown. The DOJ will not allow any the the big 4 US carriers to merge and get larger. AS could combine with B6, but not AA.
