Canadian Based: Aeroplan or SkyMiles?

I am Canadian based and was wondering which one should I stay with. I know I should focus on one program, right? I have an Aeroplan CC and Delta CC. So which should I get rid of?

I fly to Europe about 2 times a year and can book on KLM with skymiles direct to AMS but with AC I have to connect. However, AC has the hub where I live. Wit Delta it seems I have to jump through hoops to redeem and AC seems easier. Should I keep both?

Cheers

Delta sky pesos are basically junk, stick with AC.

The best FF program around or the worst.

That's a tough choice.

Possibly the most sought-after award by many of us is the Aeroplan round-the -world in first class for 120K.

Some of your decision will have to be based on which Canadian airport you fly from and your class of service. Using the old "3-holer" MD-11 that KLM still insists on keeping out of retirement is not the way I prefer to do long haul.

Are you only redeeming for that one route?

The trouble with KLM and the MD-11 is what I'm trying to warn you about;
