Obscure2K: you are in LAX, one of the best places in the country to choose programs.
Don't give up on the possibility that someone can do you well. Research. Investigate. While you may conclude that being FF program free is to your advantage, you might not.
Here in LEX there are only 3 or 4 programs that we can use. It's a hard choice. I would think your decision can be based more on promise and less on performance (flight times and availability). Go to it!
If Delta still meets your needs, great! If someone else, fine! If no one, just go with the flow.
Hope to meet you on one of our West Coast trips.... Lex
