I did that route for two years, kinda.

It really comes down to Alaska or Southwest if you want any flexibility.

Also if you can get down to SJC instead, the route I flew, I would think Alaskan would be the best choice if FC is a huge issue.

I have always been focused on the number of flights because of late or rescheduled meetings, traffic, etc. So i would suffer the humility of Southwest for the flexibility.

I did start to change my mind a bit when the top status ( I averaged about 500K points per year) tickets started getting bumped by everyone and you would always be A15+ unless you buy their Biz class ticket.
