Jump to postI’ve heard XNA as a very likely possibility for the CRJ550. What about ORD-ICT? Lots of business HQs out there.

Let's see if the new 763 and 787-10 configs earn their keep.
As noted, they have 45 A350-900s on order which will likely handle the bulk of the 777-200ER replacement. This will leave 10 777-200ER and 19 777-200 (per Wikipedia) which will probably be replaced with additional 787-10 purchases (they have 8 in the fleet now with 6 more on order). United also has...
Jump to postI can tell you this much, I am sitting now in a 787-10 EWR-TLV which used to be a 777-200 so UA is using the 787-10 to replace 777-200 Kinda, but not really.

The 100 seat plane at UA are the A319 still entering the fleet and the aging 737-700. United Express is more E-jet 170/5.
