The construct of your question suggests that I would move my business to one airline specifically which is not the case.
Over the past few years I have witnessed a continuous dilution of benefits tied to my loyalty with a single carrier. I am closely approaching the point where I can no longer justify spending more and inconveniencing myself with blind loyalty when I can book a ticket and value engineer my way up the things I value by paying a little more.
1. With Pre-Check I no longer require elite security lines.
2. With advanced web technology I take care of most of my issues without talking to a human at the airline.
3. I can purchase a better seat, a seat up front and early boarding for a few bucks more.
4. I have a credit card for every airline I fly so I not longer need to worry about baggage fees.
5. My credit cards also get me into the airline clubs for the airlines that I fly which provides me necessary support during IRROPS without standing in mile-long customer service lines.
So, the answer is that I wouldn't flee to "any" airline. I will flee to "all" airlines.
