Haven't heard/read anything that indicates UA is planning on taking any more 788s. I believe they ordered 12 or 14 more 789s, plus 4 more 77Ws. UA's international route strategy this year has seemed to be more about fortifying existing destinations with routes from its hubs (e.g. DEN-FRA, SFO-AMS, SFO-DEL, etc.) as opposed to adding any new destinations, which it seems to be doing more on a one-off seasonal basis from EWR.
