If they switch both flights to the new 'less dense' planes, then that would be 70 seats less per day.

What are those getting replaced with?
United placed an order for 100 787s in 2022, which has been reported to replace the entire 767 fleet and some of the 777 fleet.

"It expects to take 787s deliveries between 2024 and 2032 and can choose among 787-8, 9 or 10 models. United will buy 787s to replace its entire 767 fleet by 2030 and some 777s, cutting carbon emissions per seat by about 25% for the new planes." https://www.reuters.com/business/aer...rs-2022-12-13/
