I've got plenty of miles on other airlines, and am thinking of doing an AA challenge in Jun/Jul (whenever the rollover is).
That's why I stay with DL. Yet it's not an exclusive relationship.

I'm sticking with Delta until October of this year, which is when I'll be burning every mile I have left to fly to Europe with my wife. Unfortunately, the award booking levels are so erratic, I need to keep flying them until then to make sure I will have enough miles! Well played, Delta!

This is true. I agree, they may be "too big to succeed". I'm not sure why there's this obsession to be "largest". Obviously there are some economies of scale in a large fixed-asset business as airlines, but man -- when something goes wrong (Irrops etc.) "The bigger they are the harder they fall".
