This is exactly what QF is encouraging after the latest devaluation to their FF program. Certainly stay loyal to get your preferred target status then spread the loyalty far and wide - even jump ship totally. I would have paid that little extra for OW RTWs previously, but now it's so much harder to justify the cost - both in $ for tickets and now for award redemptions. But I digress...
