you got a point but my main beef with RR would be that the credits expire one year after issue (not sure if you can extend once) and I don't like the fact that there's nothing i can do to stave off expiration whereas airline miles I can essentially keep forever by having activity every few months. Also my travel patters are extremely sporadic, I can fly 50K miles one year, not fly at all the next two, then fly 80K miles another year and then nothing. I think AA's lifetime benefit will help me the most, then i don't have to worry about maintaining status, achieving it is no problem for me, it's maintaining it that i can't seem to do very well...

True.
I'm not sure what is worse, being a Kettle or an elite in the back.
Back when I was a Kettle (18 months ago
) I didn't know what I was missing.
Now when I am in the back I am fuming because I know what is going on up there.
