Most of my flights originate out of Oklahoma City, which is not a hub to any single carrier. Does anyone have an opinion of which airline i should try and accrue miles with? At the start of the year i had made the decision to move forward with AA. On a recent flight, i overheard two experienced travelers talking about how the AA program sucks because there are so many travelers on AA that have a ridiculous number of points. This negates any seat bumps that might otherwise be available unless you travel an extraordinary amount. Do you find this to be true over other airlines such as Delta, United, Continental?

Most of my flights are domestic and with the carriers mentioned.
