The trouble with that is, if you post a question about "Should I choose AA or UA?" in the UA forum, you'll get a bunch of UA fans saying "UA," UA antagonists saying "not UA," and a large number of people in there saying, "this is the UA forum; I have no idea about anything AA."

In the AS forum, we often get questions about whether to collect AS miles or DL miles. Most of the time, our collective response is basically, "We don't know much about the DL program except that it has a bad reputation, so sure, collect AS miles."

A better place for cross-program discussion is needed, IMHO.
