There are differences between reduced utilization, alternate deployments, temporarily storing aircraft, and retiring aircraft.
UAL has not said anything about retiring 777s (aka fleet reduction).
However, UAL is absolutely overstaffed with 777 FOs as the airplanes are redeployed into domestic service because it does not take 3 FOs to staff a transcon.
