I can fly OAK-LAX-HNL on DL. It's cheaper than UA ex-SFO, and I get all-aisle access on a DL widebody, instead of the 2-4-2 772G. On the return, I can route HNL-SLC-OAK, which is actually preferable for a red-eye due to the longer flight time HNL-SLC.
OAK is 15 minutes from both home and office. SFO is 2-8x that, depending on time and mode of travel.
And DL is overall just a better experience.
