I wouldn't say UA has 50%+ more CAT 4 WB (including 764). Counting off airline pilotcentral AA has 112 to UA's 140. Now that is today and not 5 years from now but we all have orders in to buy more. I would say it is closer to 25% more. The great thing about AA is we pay in CAT bands vs aircraft. So a 787 pays same as 330, 777, 350, 764 which isn't true at DL or UA. But again we are all splitting hairs when it comes to Top 3. It'll change minimum 3 more times in a 20+ year career.
UA's fleet total is smaller. 717 vs 930. 140 LWB vs 111. Works out to 20% vs 12% of the overall fleet are LWB pay.

I missed that DL 767-400's are in their larger pay bracket. They end up with 11% in the LWB pay group.
