Status match
I tried a search but the most recent posts I could find are from 2018.
I'm a Delta Diamond Medallion from the 1st year it was offered and a DL (and NW) Platinum going back twenty years. And also a DL 2MM flyer so I'm Delta Gold 'for life' or until they change that benefit.
I'm retired and split my living between RDU and DCA. During non-covid times, I was taking 4 to 6 international trips a year, Europe and Asia. Now I'm doing a bit of US flying so this may not be a time to seek a match since I might not be flying enough to earn it.
So wondering about seeking a Jet Blue status match. Are they being offered now at all?
Any thought and suggestions are appreciated.

Jetblue is not officially offering status matches at the current time but you can always email them with your request and see what they say. These days, they may be less rigid given the challenging times and the need for additional revenue.

I did a status match on USAir many years ago. I was an NW Plat and qualified for the next year by March. I'd just moved to DC so inquired about a match with US, expecting to get gold - they matched me to highest level and I flew enough to qualify for gold the following year. Still sitting on a few thousand AA miles that I earned that year.
But I ended up back at NW, now DL. There were a few exceptions, but generally felt the service on NW was better.
