Thanks in advance

I personally like ST - they have three carriers in the US vs. OW's 1 which gives one more earning flexibility. CO is in the best financial shape, but I don't think DL or NW are going belly up anytime soon. I have had the best upgrade percentages on NW and very good experiences with DL. With CO, it was hit or (more often) miss and so I stopped flying them. If you go with NW or CO, you can get upgrades with either while DL only gives you upgrades on DL. In the end - you have to see where your base is, where you go in the US and decide accordingly... Good luck!
