I wanted to post a question i had in the *A forum here because I feel that both sets of parties might have a difference of opinion. The original post is

The text was:

With OneWorld gaining access to the different LANs, JAL, Malev, and Royal Jordanian along with their cheaper RTW prices with more flexible rules and better opportunities for earning miles on the RTWs, they seem like the obvious choice for any RTW trip where you are not flying just to compare airlines' C/F product as it would seem that *A still has the nicest choices in that regard with SQ and others.

I know I'm over thinking this but the reason I bring this up now is because I plan on taking a year long RTW with my wife in Sep 08 and right now I have 1P on UA (and Gold on AS) and was going to focus on getting 1K on UA this year. Part of me says I should drop everything on *A now and focus on AA status for my RTW. The other part of me says I should enjoy my benefits on *A/UA/AS this year and focus on status next year on AA before the RTW begins using something like the Plat challenge.

Thoughts?
