re: Airline status vs using other airlines for direct flights

Domestic, I'd rather fly direct on a hanglider than connect in business class. Time is too valuable and missed connections are too common. Status is great, but if it's inconvenient or expensive, then it defeats its purpose

I schedule my own flights, and I have missed a single connection due to weather in the Northeast in almost 20 years of frequent flying.
I also don't leave 40 minutes of time to connect, and avoid northern and northeastern airports that are subject to capacity restrictions, weather delays, etc. I also avoid anything smaller than a 737, which are more likely to be culled from on time departures due to lower passenger count. I'm more spoiled than most since I've lived in 2 hub cities (IAH and ATL) my entire consulting life.
I'd rather connect in Frankfurt or SFO than IAD/EWR/ORD any, any, day of the week.
