Now that US Air is dropping all of the JKF/LAS non-stops I neeed to choose another carrier as I hate adding 2 to 3 hours to every trip.

My wife and I have flown over 1,000,000 each for business and pleasure on the AW/US LAS/JFK non-stops over the last 21 years and really love the non-stop service. Although at times, US leaves a lot to be desired in the way of service. I guess I should just say non-stop flights.

Anyway, I have no intention of spending hours in PHL, CLT or PHX when I can I can fly non-stop. At this point Delta looks like the best option. I would like suggestions on how I can convince Delta to "honor" my US Platinum Status and my wife's Gold Status.
