I would agree that the article confirmed what we already knew: Delta is not that great, Star Alliance is better than most, OneWorld is good but has drawbacks.

I did find the Mission: Impossible survey interesting. Does anyone have an opinion with respect to the Book Your Award service provided by Gary Leff and if it is really that much better than the other options? Is the service worth $250 bucks or was this just an opportunity for them to throw Gary some glory? I ask because given what I just went throught to find two business class round trip tickets to South African around New Year's $250 seems like a bargain if he delivers.
