Pulled the plug on AC today

I agree with the poster who likes AC and the MLLs, but every day those miles don't post I get closer to switching my business to Air France so as a loyalty program it's beginning to break down for me. And if I have a good experience there who knows when I'll be back.
My AC flights from May have still not posted so today I purchased my first flights in several years on Air France. This really hurts with the fall promos, but I guess if they can't post the base miles I wouldn't get the bonuses anyway. This also means no hope now of reaching SE this year, so my focus from now to December will be getting FB Platinum and with luck I'll do it. Since I travel with a team, this means something like 20 inter-continentals in J lost to Air Canada and about another dozen lost to other *A carriers. Maybe AC should ditch AP and start their own frequent flyer program if their goal is to generate loyalty.
