There are routes/flights that still clear 96 hours out for 1Ks - they're just becoming far less common. I'm pretty sure in the past, UA has shot themselves in the foot by giving out too many CPUs, only to get complaints that last-minute F buyers weren't able to get seats. Seems UA has now gone too far the other way in holding back seats too long on flights that have little chance of selling all F seats.
