United isn't selling seats on any Gojet CRJ 550 flights right now. Even if the airplane got delivered tomorrow, United needs time to put them in to the system and sell seats. Network planning usually starts a year out and becomes final around 3-4 months out. Things like landing slots, gates, route capacity and pricing all has to be sorted out.

I’ve been flying UA as a PAX for 15+ years and I can’t think of a time when at least one of their aircraft wasn’t being reconfigured.

N605QX is owned by SkyWest Leasing and flew TUS to AMA on Jun 12 and AMA to STL on Jun 19 under GoJet Flight Number 7554.
So it appears that C37afe is correct about the 29 CRJs from Skywest and JayD is correct about four in conversion in STL.
