(1) What is most important to you in a FFP?
Upgrades, good award redemption, non-PP lounges

(2) How many miles do you usually fly each year & in what class? How many flights/sectors?
Last year - 25k, 30 flights
This year - 50-75k, 30-60 flights
I travel a fair amount for work but a lot of it is short haul. I did do a few transcontinental US trips this year already along with a LAX-HKG trip

(3) What types of fares do you usually buy?
Economy

(4) Can you choose your airlines and/or class of service? Do you travel for work and/or pleasure?
For work travel it's always economy. I travel a fair amount for work, I'm trying to leverage it to increase the level of my personal travel.

(5) Which routes and airlines do you fly most often?
SAN-SJC (AS)
US Domestic, predominantly AA, but also AS
I probably did 8-10 SAN-SJC trips last year, mostly on AS

(6) What is your home airport?
SAN

(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 - Platinum from challenge, should be able to keep it until the end of the year at least (116k award miles)
AS - MVP from status match at the end of last year

(8) Preferred Airlines? Most common Airlines flown on?
AA or AS, I currently am on track to get higher status with AA this year

I currently have the following elite qualifying:
AA - 2k EQD, 28k EQM, 15 EQS
AS - 3.5k EQM, 6 EQS

I'm wondering if I should credit my AS travel to another OW partner since I can no longer credit it to AA. Per company policy, I have to do the least amount of legs if there's the option. AA doesn't do direct from SAN-SJC so I'm left with AS as the only option where I could potentially credit to another OW partner. I don't fly quite enough to get to AS MVP status if I'm also reaching for AA Plat Pro or higher.
