Looks like AA is your choice! Check the partner rules: you'll earn AA miles and Q-points on that Seattle flight, but it varies by fare bucket (IIRC). I think a few folks here have actually made AS their preferred program and accrue miles/status there (because of their stable of partners), but I don't know if that's in your best interest given that you will be the vast majority of your time on AA metal.

An occasional B6 flight to Denver won't be too bad either. Seatback ESPN, right?
