FlyerTalk Experts need your opinion,

I have racked up approx 45,000 elite qualifying miles on Continental - thus I am silver and with another flight planned I plan to get to Gold before the end of 2011.

I recently moved from a city with a CO hub to a city that is a Delta Hub. I am currently Delta silver, but once I now have CO Gold it will be pretty useless based on where I live now?

Do you think i'll have a chance to get Delta to Match a CO Gold? How should I go about the request.

Thanks
