- Continue to give as much, if not all, my flying to AC and AE and attain SE status once again;
- Spend my miles faster than I accumulate them!
- Try to fly full-J class as much as possible

My FF resolution is more of the same as the last five months.
Commuting on Dash 8s and CRJs between YXJ and YYF, about 8-10 segments a month. Their will be a few other trips, such as NZ in a couple of weeks. Most of the flghts will be done on a flight pass^
Like Simon, the goal is to be at home as much as possible, even if it incurs extra $$ and time in the air.

Find the longest distance between point A and B without spending any more money. 
(Hey, it's what you gotta do when you really are only an E who aspires to be a SE!)
For example, I am flying YYZ-DEN-IAH in January, and back along the same route for the same amount of money as the direct flight.
I also see that I can use my Rapidair flight passes to fly YYZ-YOW-YUL for one coupon instead of YYZ-YUL direct.

Credit my AKL UA C trip in March to UA MP rather than AP to see for myself whether the grass really is greener on the other side. With my connector to/from SFO I should easily make MP Premier, my first elite level ever. ^

With Star Alliance, SkyTeam and OneWorld I plan to consolidate the myriad of FF accounts I have which were opened many years before the Alliances were formed.
With AC/Aeroplan, I have some orphaned Aeroplan miles (30k). Since I travel every week and have two car rentals a week, I began crediting my AVIS rentals to AC/Aeroplan until I had a balance just above 40k - enough for one J class within North America.
Once I can find a J class seat at normal redemption levels, I'll then keep my Aeroplan account activie by purchasing gas from Esso once a year (I buy gas at Shell).
Although, I need to think which FF to credit my car rentals since US carriers do not give very much. LH does provide 500 miles/rental and one only needs 35k for a J class ticket within Canada on LH's Miles and More
Cheers
