Basically, NW is a program that makes sense really for domestic travellers.

I agree about it being a better domestic program. I fly 200K plus miles a year all domestic. NW has been wonderful, with upgrades etc. The issue I am now facing is schedule cuts. All the airlines are cutting domestic flights for international. Soon they will not be able to run international flights, because they have no domestic route to connect with.
