Any body who thinks SWA is the best way to go for reward travel needs to have their head examined.

US is the worst - I have redeemed >3M miles on US on partners and US.
DL is next worst - 2.3M miles and a 99$ EF subscription says no to that as well.
Give me a cancelable award on AF with DL miles any day over a free ticket on SWA.
DL is frustrating all right, but to give 96% and 12% rates, with no mention of FC benefits, partner awards, upgrades, shop with miles, rental car deals...
