Regent has always favored Star Alliance for my flights. I am not fond of Delta in anyway at all, especially their rewards and upgrade travel. If I had a gateway city of note, I wouldn't mind AA, but I am forced into USAir for the points thing. Use my "orphan miles" that Andrea talked about for hotels, etc., and HOARD my *Alliance miles for air only!
One thing we seem to all agree is that flying is not the pleasant experience it used to be!
