There are a few used 737-700's from COPA to be added (rumors of more possible) as well as up to 42 used A319's (25 from China and the rumored 17 Spirit, both from AerCap leasing). The first China 319 is to be delivered in January, then modified to UAL configuration, not sure how long that will take. All told 11 319's to be added in 2016. 13+ in 2017 and beyond.
Pontifications: Looking to year-end - Leeham News and Comment
2016 is going to a relatively "slow" year for aircraft deliveries. 5 more 787-9's before summer, the first 777-300er at the end of the year and whatever used 737 and 319 aircraft they can get online.
Monthly hiring plan till next summer is to be 81 in December, 87 in January, 77 in Feb, 75 in March, 75 in April, 58 in May and 21 in June.
The 756 is currently off limits to new hires as the training capacity is full with transitions from the 76T fleets, and vacancy awards.
Junior base will be EWR with possibly SFO/IAD/IAH as options for new hires.

A number of the China Southern are already in modification. Expect to see the first on the line as early as January.
All of the 319's from China have engines that are NOT derated. I was told that "we're not going to waste money on derating them".
