The aggressive flyers are one thing (they'll probably keep flying), but the CC folks are probably a trickier fight. If I put all my corporate spend on the DL card, that's like $50k MQDs/yr - add in flying, boosts, etc. and I'm probably over $60k. Right now I have no reason to do that - getting to Diamond early is nice, but otherwise I'm better off seeing to AA or Hyatt status.
