Will you change to or favour another airline loyalty program?

No, because I made the change 2 years ago. Since then I've been a free agent, flying 55% *A non-UA partners (LH, OS, LX, TK, SK, EW), 35% ST carriers (KL & AF) partners, 15% OW and 5% UA. I credit my *A miles to UA, ST to DL, and OW to AA.

What program(s) do you find to be better going forward?

I don't choose a particular flight/airline based on the value of their FFP. I base my choice on comfort and value - short haul, I don't want my knees in my chest and a padded seat. Long haul, I want true PE and a fair opportunity to pay a reasonable price to sit up front. In any event, I believe the heyday of the FFP is over. MR's were fun, but who still does that? It's like trading stamps that my mother used to save. Everyone did it, and now, you ask someone about it and unless you're a boomer, all you get is a blank stare.
