Delta has 60% more domestic passengers than United. Its flights are shorter on average.
Looks like 60% to me. Perhaps 30%.

12 months ending July 2014 domestic passengers carried:

DL 102,461K
UA 64,800K

Domestic:
DL #2 UA #4
(source above)

I started this thread about all flights, not just domestic.

Everyone, have a great weekend!
