FWIW I've heard UAs international WB fleet is fully deployed and there is not a great deal of slack. Not as tight as DL or AA, but tight enough that with Boeing's delayed deliveries not to expect much international growth in the next 18 months. UA has already added a ton of new international flights this last year. The Australia additions are especially impressive.
The reduction to PEK, PVG and CTU is also impressive, compared to pre-COVID (66 weekly flights down to 4 flights; back to 9 flights in late October). This reduction provides a lot of widebodies for other routes.
