This is wishful thinking. General flyers and silvers would be unable to select seats at booking, which would complicate matters with so many seats unassigned. I think it is more likely UA will leave the space open, as Delta has, in case there is a change in scope that allows quick installation of six seats.

UA's pitch (and legroom) specifications are all over the place. The marketing people just throw a range up on the website and call it a day.

UA E+ is generally 34'. How is that all over the place? I was responding to the post that suggested UA could use the extra space from 70 seat config to give E or E+ extra pitch. That's not going to happen.

Wide bodies have pitches of 31" for E- and 34" for E+ of most recently updated versions (e.g., B773 and Polarized B772) except for B788 and B789 (32"/35"). B772s have more variations.
The trend is towards 30" (E-) and 34" (E+) for narrow bodies and 31" (E-) and 34" (E+) for widebodies. Please do not forget the seat widths are shrinking on B772s.

And unless one is privy to some sort of internat UA communication, there is no way for any of us to know how UA intends to deal with new 70 seat E75s

From UA's website:
B739: v1, v2: 30-31" in E-, 34" in E+; v3: 30-31" in E-, 35-40" in E+
B738: v1: 31" in E-, 37" in E+; v2-4: 30" in E-, 34" in E+
B73G: v1: 31" in E-, 36" in E+; v2: 30" in E-, 34-38" in E+; v3: 30" in E-, 34-35" in E+
All over the place.

so 30 to 31 for E-, 34+ for E+, pretty consistent considering there are many types of E+ seats, some are significantly better due to exit location etc.

That was a response to a claim that UA wouldn't possibly add pitch on these 70-seat E-175s because the marketing people wouldn't allow them to do that, for consistency's sake. Clearly, the marketing people are able to handle some planes having more space than others, and some E+ seats having more space than other E+ seats, even on the same plane type.

To clarify, UA's a bit behind in seat maps - things aren't as crazy as they appear.
73G - All domestic are 37/34/30*.
The oddball version #1 73G is a single aircraft in GUM and should get slimlines soon. *3 aircraft in GUM have E+34 plus a few rows with 35E+
738 - All aircraft are 37/34/30.
The oddball version #1 738, which is obsolete after slimline completion
739 - All 739 are 37/34/30-31.
The oddball version #3 739 is the 39M and for some reason UA's showing the exit row seating pitch, which exists, but is not shown on other seat maps. Along with the slimline lav, there must be a slight difference in F seats so that more E+ seats are included.

A few pretty random updates:
763:
N684UA - The flight aware link is broken, it's missing the "U" in UA at the end.
Regarding N588HA/N684UA: GYR has a couple of MRO organizations there in addition to the 'boneyard' organizations. One of the organizations specializes in engine maintenance and the other in modification work. It's possible everything may be done at GYR but I wouldn't be surprised to see all of the mechanical heavy lifting get done at GYR and then interior work get done at HKG. I'm not sure what the FAA rules are on this but its conceptually possible.
E145:
N846HK - Painted in TSA House Livery. Currently listed as unsure on the fleet site.
. This makes sense since it looks like it is doing runs for both UA and AA right now.
E175:
N87360 - In-service. Currently listed as just delivered on the fleet site
