I don't think UAL anticipated the amount of work which would be necessary to get the ex-CZ birds to its maintenance standard.

How many A319's from China Southern were delivered in 2017 that are currently being worked on in Florida?

UA took delivery of 6 used 319s in 2017, but only 2 are in service. 2 used 320s were also delivered and both remain in induction at LCQ. So, 2018 will see 6 319/320 frames added to the line, but are not counted as 2018 deliveries since they were accepted during the 2017 calendar year.

The CR2s (50-seaters in general) are not scope-limited and UA can fly as many of these as it wants to. The Air Wisconsin contract is apparently quite flexible and can be drawn down at pretty short notice. United is trying to increase connectivity at its hubs and the CR2s will predominantly be used in short, less-competitive markets to bring higher-yielding pax to the hubsites for distribution around the network. Kirby is convinced that United's relative disadvantage in terms of hub quality to AA/DL is partially responsible for United's revenue and marginal underperformance.
My guess is part of the deal ensures Air Wisconsin will be the first in line to operate new large RJs if United is able to negotiate scope relief from the pilots.

UA is replacing the CR7s one for one with E-175s up to the current scope limit of 153 76-seaters (E75) and 102 70-seaters (38 E70/64 CR7). I think the last E75 is or will be on property soon.

The RJ scope limit is actually 255 70+ seater planes (of which no more than 153 can have 76 seats). The CR7’s were drawn down slowly to allow the scope to reach it’s max. The final E175 is on property and ready for service but cannot enter service until the last CR7 has been discharged from thefleet (in process now).

By the way, in this example ( N786UA ) does it remain sUA crewed after the Polaris mod?
