Please help me figure out which airline I should focus my points on. I’ll be flying 100% domestic, from Charleston..and often to DC, Florida, California and other parts of the East Coast.
Currently:
Delta: General Member. Current miles toward next level: 4,846 miles
American: General Member: Current miles toward next level: 5,635 miles
United general member. 2 PQF, 411 PQF
What class of travel?
If a lot of flights from CHS to east coast, those will be short, cheapish and so earn little (status & redeemable ff miles) to any ffp. Those 3 ffp's are revenue based.

What are you objectives from a ffp? You are effectively starting at nothing.
DL & UA ff miles do not expire. AA ffp needs eligible activity to keep AA miles alive
Any ff mile earnings from non flying activities?

Or just fly the airline that offers the best schedule-price, and treat ff miles as a bonus that may/may not be used in the future
