IMO UA could refurbish their old fleet and save the cost of replacing some planes. If the engines, mechanicals need to be replaced that is one thing, but if they are looking to update the interior with the latest and greatest they can do that without buying new planes. I don't know the lifespan of a plane and look for others who know more to chime in.
