Industry Awards?
So this is my first post, although I've been "lurking" on FT for a while now. I'm wondering what industry awards (besides the Freddies) I should pay attention to when choosing a FF program? I recently took a job that will require me to travel quite a bit, and I want to make sure I pick an airline with a history of recognized success. Ideas?

Decide what you want out of a frequent flyer program (free tickets? Upgrades? What?). How much is quite a bit (10,000 butt-in-seat miles/year? 25,000? 50,000? 100,000?). Where are you flying from/to? Do schedules and nonstops matter to you?
Then come back here and post that information, and everyone will be happy to catch you up on the pluses and minuses.
