On the current UAL side, look for new wide-body flying to Guam. It's hard to imagine the narrow body flying on those routes without a crewbase nearby, then again, we haven't seen what ALPA wants to give away in the next contract.
It's not a rumour. NRT-SIN, NRT-SGN, NRT-HKG (CAL 737) to start late Sep. as per company bulletin. I believe HNL-GUM-NRT 777 (UAL) begins about the same time, replacing the CAL 767. Nothing yet on BKK. CMI has scaled back a bit because of the reduced traffic subsequent to the earthquake, so it's difficult to say if the new schedule will generate any additional staffing. Kinda doubt but I guess we'll know soon...
