The dust has to settle with Alaska fully joining OW to see the new earnings rates and such, but some really good insight here so far.
Given this information I’d probably give pretty strong consideration to AS’s program personally. The deciding factor will probably be which domestic routes you’re flying primarily out of LAX. If it’s a lot of west coast/AS flights, that would probably decide it for me. If you do a lot of transcons though, AA may still be a better option for the SWUs and J/F products.
