The Fleet Status site is:
https://sites.google.com/site/unitedfleetsite/
At the site, you can find information about the interior features, livery, etc., for every plane in United's fleet.
To determine which plane your flight will be on go to mobile.united.com and then click on flight status. Put in the flight number for your flight and just have it use today's date (occasionally it'll say flight not operated on this date in which case just choose one of the other 3 dates it lists). In the address bar you'll see something like this:
mobile.united.com/FlightStatus/FlightDetails?carrierCode=UA&flightNumber=415&flig htDate=9%2F15%2F2015&origin=JFK&destination=SFO
https://mobile.united.com/FlightStatus/FlightDetails?carrierCode=UA&flightNumber=415&flig htDate=9%2F15%2F2015&origin=JFK&destination=SFO
Just change the flight date to match the day of your scheduled flight and then change the origin / destination as necessary. Once you do that look in the details tab under aircraft # and if they have assigned a plane it'll say something like #3506 and the type of plane. Once you know that go to the United Fleet website listed above and cross-reference the four digit number against the "aircraft" column under the appropriate aircraft type.
Keep in mind that things change as they get closer and sometimes either they won't have assigned an aircraft yet or it'll be assigned #0 if it's a few days away and they are anticipating aircraft movement.
You may also check the specific fleet variant of each flight at the United Cargo site under "Schedules & tracking". This data tends to be reliable starting 7 days in advance, but is always subject to change.

Is it confirmed that the charter bird (n194ua) was damaged in ORD last week from a wing tip strike to the nose section? If so- How long will this be out of service? Will there be a replacement bird for the foreseeable future, perhaps a 767-400?

It's the last entertainment option below the films and TV on the top menu... need to scroll down to find it. And yes, it's turned on based on the captain's discretion.

This basically leaves them spare-less on the busier days of the week, they're lucky one wasn't in heavy maintenance.

Great to see it will be back and not w/o. Must have sustained quite some damage. Thanks for confirming

Agreed that the CR7s with the SlimLines aren't too bad... flew one today and I was pleasantly surprised.
Does anyone know if the E170s will get the new SlimLines too?

Yes, without the headrest. The old ones had nice headrests in Y, now only the F seats will have them.
I think the slimlines are ok all around except for the head area, which is tolerable for 1-1.5 hour flight, but for 3-4 hour flights that UA has in store for them, not so much IMO.

For ExpressJet 35 EMB145s and 17 CR2s are leaving the fleet this year, next year it's 59 EMB145s and 20 CR2s.
For SkyWest Airlines 4 CR2 are leaving the fleet this year and 22 will be leaving the fleet next year.

There are a total of 87 CRJs combined operating for UA. 14 on the XJT side and the rest with Skywest.
