"The fact that Alaska Mileage Plan has taken the title again for a second year in a row tells us that last year’s win wasn’t a one-off fluke, and that the discerning members of FlyerTalk really value the Alaska program."

I am in total shock at AS won this again, let me remind the "discerning members" of how great Mileage plan is.

AS has been fired from multiple partners in the last year. It has made travel to smaller cities almost impossible with the loss of AA. No miles on the domestic segment to connect with a AA international flight is not customer friendly and laughable. Combined with several new partners not offering any redemption's, and the meager seats only on certain partners puts Mileage plan as a very limited program.
