Nope. Different.
They are both in the Star Alliance though, so they can codeshare.

They tried to merge a few years ago http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=87893&page=1#.UHmFX1EhT_4

United merged with Continental instead http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2010/sep/17/united-continental-merger-agreement

actually there are merger talks between US Airways and American Airlines.
Those talks picked up even more speed just after labor day
