As of July 1, 2007 Census estimates, New Orleans was the 78th largest city and 51st largest metropolitan area in the US. Based on that I would say it is definitely still a major US city. Cities of similar size include St. Petersburg, FL; Chandler, AZ; Jersey City, NJ; Norfolk, VA; Scottsdale, AZ; and Birmingham, AL. Metro Areas of similar size include Salt Lake City, UT; the Research Triangle area in Raleigh, NC; Rochester, NY; Tuscon, AZ; Tulsa, OK; and Honolulu, HI.
I guess it really just depend on what your definition of a major US city is. I consider any city in the top 100 for raw population or metro area population to be a major city but other people may disagree.
