As a 5-year AC Elite, I gave up on AC status two years ago (despite my username) and instead split my 100K flying between Asiana (long-haul, and connections don't really bother me) and Cathay (regional).
I have a very happy balance of Diamond Plus on OZ (which gives me *G for two years at a time and a high priority in op-up's when I fly OZ metal) and Silver on MPC, which gives me lounges when I fly regionally (with the odd long-haul) on CX. Being based in HK means I don't really need to fly 1w partners much, so 1w Ruby is sufficient at the moment.
Having read what will happen to the Altitude program for 2014 I am SO glad that I jumped ship!
