UA has some 737's on order, but currently UA's plan of attack it seems is to stick a CRJ or ERJ at the route and call it a day.
Like I said, UA is not a bad airline/company at all, but they can't keep throwing RJ's at routes that deserve at least a 737-700 or A319.
United has a firm commitment for 63 737-900ERs and 100 737-MAX.
They are retiring 43 ERJs this year and will start retiring CRJs next year.
