Ok..what I am trying to do and figure out is to find a large and good air miles program that will allow me to earn elite status, and still be as flexible as i have to as far as hubs goes.

On short term that means the next 12-18 months i will be flying out of SFO, to both FLL and JFK and the sporadic trip to IAD and PRC.

Then my hub will be FLL/MIA to SFO and JFK an IAD.

Along with my ramdom trips to AMS, CDG,ATH/RHO and OSL Scandinavia.
Thats why Elite status and flexibility is important.
I need to find someone that is good on both domestic and international flights..

I will look into the advice of Alaska, thanks..
