If status and miles are worthless, as NW seems to want them to be, then just pick your carrier based on price and service.

From what I've read, SY blows NW away on cabin and service. They are usually competitve on price. Now SY has a FF program too. @:-)

Sure, SY doesn't go to Osaka. But if someone doesn't travel internationally, paragraphs #1 and #2 above is all they really care about.
