(...Must... not let...evil thoughts... take... over me) LoL

If WestJet does one day become a big player in OW, then I'd be the first on the OW bandwagon and jump ship from *A. Last spring, I was looking for a AC fare to MAD and the cheapest fare was with NWA. But decided to pay a little bit more to fly AC so I can cash in the points and also to avoid connecting in the US and CDG.
I've only flown business class (domestic) once, only because a chain of negative events occurred earlier resulting in my miss-connect and it was the only seat available ^
I don't think I'll ever get status since all my travel is leisure and I don't fly as much of some FT heavyweights. I do however, fly more than the average bear.

It is great that you can always have a choice!
