I'm torn on this *issue* (though it really isn't one). I like a lot of things about AS (CS, far fewer fees, flexibility) but I wish they had more international perks for being a high flyer. I live in SEA and almost exclusively fly UA because of the SWUs and Cr1-s. I don't really care too much about *A or oneworld. AS's system of partners would be fine IF I could acquire international upgrades.
