(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
Can choose, travel for both, am self-employed.
(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
Short-haul:
- SIN-HKG, currently on UA
- SIN-PEK/PVG, on SQ
Long-haul:
- SIN-US (Both coasts), mainly on SQ
- SIN-EUR, mainly on SQ
Please note that I will usually look for discount biz fares to cheapest arrival airport in Europe/USA and/or cheapest departure airport around SIN (KUL, CGK, SGN, BKK, HKG, etc) for the long-haul flights, before I take a quick short-haul hop to my final destination. So cost of ticket is far more important than minimising stops or travel time, and for that reason QR fares look very attractive for Asia-Europe (And v.v.) travel.

(SFO, SCL, London LHR, HKG, Singapore SIN etc.)
SIN

No status, no significant miles hoarded anywhere. Have Gold status on SQ, but not PPS.
