FWIW, the revised investor update still says 45 new Boeings in 2020.
Emphasis on the word new. Looks like UAL is being quite coy about the delivery schedule for used 737s and 319/320s.

Don't sweat the buyback. UAL does not pay a dividend and thus they need to incentive investors to continue to invest. Pick your poison: dividend or buyback.
