As of policy right now you are correct. You would get AA benefits only (and that's a ways off). Travel, as of two weeks ago is not providing UA benefits unless you fly UA on the RW certificate (ie Q-400). Regardless of what is flown in your "base".
You would not get US, UA, DL, or any other benefits. You get priority low on F9 where a retired ramper's unaccompanied buddy pass rider bumps you or your family.
