Switch to AA. They'll probably do a status match, since everybody does that these days.

Every program has pros and cons, including AA's. However, I've been mid-tier on a few different airlines over the years, and AA does one unique thing that nobody else has thought of: they treat their low- and mid-elites like human beings. You may not fly F on every segment, but you will talk to a lot of nice people during your travels. They actually *help* you when your flight gets canceled, unlike most airlines (unless you are top-tier). That's worth quite a bit to me. Plus with MRTC, you don't have to obsess about upgrades quite as much as you do with Delta or the others.
