Pick United. No other frequent flier program is worth the possible (likely) inconvenience of needing a layover in another city because you are flying out of a non hub

United. Depends on what firm but at mck you will hit 1k/GS easily

Um, where do you live? Generally pick the airline that’s a hub for where you are. If all else is equal, (domestic) Delta, United, American in that order for quality. With frequent international travel, that list might change.

You should also look if you can do a status challenge to get status faster depending upon how often you’ll fly.

Not good. They are called skypesos for a reason.

Not sure where in nova you are and how much more inconvenient DCA is but I’d say American just because of how easy it is to hit top status. But go with United for sure if you only want to fly out of IAD.

United

Oof. IAD. Guess you have no choice. United it is.
