Matt ~ I don't recall who offers more destinations in total off the top of my head, but I do recall that Delta does have more non-United destinations than United has non-Delta destinations.

As I said, the big advantage will be to those folks living in non-hub cities, as they will now have roughly twice as many non-stop destinations and even more connection possibilities, but in all honesty, this will only mean something if they offer code sharing and upgrading, which it doesn't appear is coming any time soon.

In other words, the alliances as they were originally announced sounded good ... what we're actually getting seems to be falling quite short.
