Question for DM members!
Just out of curiosity, if US were to fold AND UA decides to pick up all DM members and their mileage balance, would you swear your allegiance to UA like you would to US? I certainly do not have any inside info on this. However, as a DM member with a substantial amount of miles, I certainly don't want them to go to waste if the inevitable does occur.

Should the demise of US come to be, I do not know where I'd go next. I've tried not to think about it! Certainly, if someone would match my status and transfer my miles, they'd get first stab at earning my allegiance.

If an airline picks up DM but choses not to fully honor my mileage balance they will earn no loyalty and no revenue -- I would go out of my way to avoid such an airline.
An airline which honors my miles has a great head start on earning my loyalty and capturing my revenue -- but they still need to earn it.
