TIA
Both airlines parked airplanes before legacy United was merged into. Legacy Continental parked all of its 737-300/500s. They each had similar fleet sizes(a difference of around 10 airframes) although, at the time of the merge, legacy United had more widebodies. Unfortunately all of the 747s were gone by 2017 and quite a few 757s too.
