After the changes to AA, I'm not sure if I should stay or move to a different FFP. I'm half way between Detroit and Chicago - so here's the question - AA, BA, or...AS?

Questions

(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
(upgrades on travel, priority services when flying the airline, extra baggage allowance, good award redemption rates, better award access, free - discounted lounge access, etc.)

Reply (In this order):Redemption rates, award access, lounge, then upgrades
(Currently have the AA Exec card and Plat AmEx so a wide array of lounges are covered, not that I wouldn't mind losing one of fees if possible).

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
(<25000, 25000-50000, >50000 miles - <25, 25-50, >50 flights?)

Reply

Domestic Economy 5-10 trips/year
Int'l Prem Economy 2 trips/year (Europe)
Int'l Biz 2 trips/year
(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?

Reply: Usually economy for domestic, Prem Econ for work, and Biz for leisure.

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?

Reply: Currently AA and BA. AA mostly domestic, BA mostly Int'l using Chase and AARP.

(6) What is your home airport?

Reply: ORD, DTW (GRR/SBN)

(7) Do you have FFP status of any kind in OW or other airline? What is it? Do you have any miles banked in a FFP?
(AA Executive Platinum, QF Gold, UA 1K, LAN Comodoro, etc)

Reply:AA Plat

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?

Reply Most commonly AA, BA, I used to fly AZ/AF Prem Econ when I was flying with DL. I wouldn't mind access to EI's biz product and mile accrual since it's usually cheaper.

I should note, I have 2 trips in Club Europe coming up that could net me near Gold status on BA. However, not sure about the Avios redemption rate.
