I am in the process of moving from Idaho to New Jersey. By June 1st I will be flying out of EWR and will be flying 75k to 100k miles a year. For the first 5-6 months of '06 however I must fly Delta through SLC out of ID. I should put an easy 50k miles into an account and am wondering Status wise, would those miles really end up counting towards status on Continental? Or would I be best getting Gold on Delta and then starting fresh on Continental once EWR is my home?
I know what OnePass says in their web-site, but any "real" experience or advice would be appreciated.

Thanks
