If you read the crew resource updates they are forcing flying into IAH on the 737, 756 and 787. So IAH's overstaffing is a bigger problem than you are making it out to be.
IAH is not the center of United Airlines universe and IAH pilots need to get that through their head. It is ahub that shows its potential during oil booms and central and South America.
