ID requirements for domestic flights are set by TSA and can be found at https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/identification.
As you can see, permanent resident cards (aka green cards) are accepted.

My wife was given a hard time at PHL by TSA once for using her greencard as ID and they made her get her passport out of her bags. The officer did not appreciate me showing her that site and said it was up to her discretion what was accepted... However, that was the only time out of dozens that we have had any issues.

You should carry the green card with you because of the law that requires you to keep it in your personal possession at all times, but there is no requirement to have any particular travel document when traveling domestically in the US, and you can't be prevented from traveling without your green card (unless you are arrested for not having it, which is not something that happens frequently as far as I am aware).
