I have had the same issue this summer (see my post bad summer for Delta). Had 3 flights cancelled in July and 1 so far in August. I found that when I called other airlines and mentioned that I fly frequently, they offered to match my status with Delta. My cancelled flights have mostly been in/out of Newark so I am going to try Continental as Newark is a Continental hub and they will match my status. I'll post back whether they turn out to be a more reliable travel partner.
Did Delta contact you, offer you any type of compensation or apologize in anyway? One of the things that surprised me the most is that I have their highest elite status and they did none of the above. If Continental provides good service, I will go from flying 156 segements on Delta in 2010 to 0 in 2011 and they don't even care.
