DL is certainly making a big play for LAX (while true, UA mainline departures from LAX have also increased from 2011).
Other than that, though, who is "moving in on" UAL at NYC, ORD and SFO?
UA has only increased their dominance at SFO in the last few years as AA effectively dropped it as a focus city. UA has added 60+ mainline peak flights from SFO since 2011.
ORD departures between AA and UA seem to be about static from 2011.
DL did unveil a partial new terminal at JFK, but LGA ops are still split and anyway they've trended downward slightly in departures from JFK.
AA is now pretty much RJ hell at LGA compared to 4-5 years ago.
Your post doesn't really make sense.
