Remember folks, cutting the chord does not mean exchanging your loyalties to DL for another airline because they will comp status for you. That is just miring you down into another airlines program and you certainly haven't cut the chord if your travel plans are influenced by your mileage affiliations.
Obscure 2k - congratulations!!! It must feel nice to know that you can take your valuable business anywhere if they start treating you in ways different than you would like. Jet Blue is really a nice airline. Check out Air Tran sometime. They are pretty nice as well and are starting service to LAX soon.
