Part of that is that all elites (and some partner/hotel elites) and companions are eligible for complimentary upgrades on DL. Not so on AA. Now, I certainly buy a claim that a higher fraction of NYC-based flyers (ie people leaving NYC on Monday) on a DL flight on that route are elite than on AA. But the length of the upgrade list is not an apples to apples indicator.
