I recently flew a r/t BOSDCA on US Airways Shuttle and was quite impressed by ground staff, aircraft, and cabin service. Needless to say, the shuttle is usually a little better than mainline. You might want to inquire with the Dividend Miles department to see if they might grant you a trial elite membership. A few years ago, CO did that for me based on my current TWA Gold Ambassador status, but then again, that was when CO was the up and coming airline trying to prove itself.
