I'm not sure if those planes are leased by United or SkyWest, so that could make things more complicated. Or maybe United will want to trade those planes in for CRJ-900's or an E-Jet product. Either way, I seriously doubt United will leave large RJ capacity on the table.

Seems how this is from the UAL fleet plan, I seriously doubt what you say is true. Not to mention the fact that management is trying to accommodate as many Ejets as possible. At the max of 325 70/76 there may only be 102 70 seat jets, parking these 15 takes them down to 100. Additionally, they aren't interested in the CR9. Either way, there will be fewer CRJ's with the UAL globe on the tail.
