i am sorry I am a little off topic here, but I fly SEA--MFR every month or so, and I have switched to DL starting a couple months ago. Delta usually match or beat AS prices, and there is just no contest between E175 and Q400, especially my status with DL always get me free upgrades on this route, although this is a short flight, in which F cabin is not a critical factor when considering ticket purchases,

I know, the sky peso program sucks. But (1) AS basically lost all their domestic partners, and no matter what other AS lovers here try to tell you, AS is still a regional carrier that can't take me to most Midwest and southeast cities; (2) with all the recent devaluation of the MP, BE fare, and elimination of some of the elite benefits, the AS MP program is barely a couple steps above the sky peso program; (3) IMO the DL cabin and in flight services in F and PE beats AS, and (4) I got it, like the other AS lover poster mentioned in another thread, airline loyalty programs including the MP is all about squeezing money out of those FFs to enhance profit, so I will spend my money on other airlines whom would give me better value and/or better schedule than AS. I no longer give my blind loyalty to AS. It has to earn my business.

i have no illusion on the sky peso program, and the MP is still a cut above most other FF programs in the US. But who knows, the way the MP is on a downward trend, it may be down to the same level as the Big3 in terms of elite benefits in the next couple of years.

In order to pretend I am still on topic, I am happy to report I requalified G75K back in late October.��
