At United, as with most commercial airlines, pilots are only current on one type. They may hold other type ratings, but aren't actively flying other fleets and thus do not remain current. For instance, the 757/767 is one type rating, so with required differences training completed, a pilot on the B756 fleet can flow across the 757-200/300 and 767-300/400, but can't also fly the 777 or 737, even if previously type-rated in those fleets.
