Inventory. Currently, UA thinks they can sell the seats for more money.
The $200 fares are still in the system, with 21-day advance purchase and no minimum stay requirement. If you're not seeing any availability, it's because UA has blocked out the discount travel buckets, as it thinks it can fill the plane with higher-fare passengers.
