This is what Aviation Week reported this morning, at least on the 787 front. It did say some of the MAX jets are options, and 737-10s (if -10 doesn't come to fruition those will turn into -9s). I hope we order them with bigger / better APUs and PACs...

100 firm 787 , 100 options for 787 and exercising some 737 options

We announced today the largest widebody order by a U.S. carrier in commercial aviation history: 100 Boeing 787 Dreamliners with options to purchase 100 more. This historic purchase is the next chapter in our ambitious United Next plan and will bolster our leadership role in global travel for years to come.
We expect to take delivery of the new widebody planes between 2024 and 2032 and can choose among the 787-8, -9 or -10 models, providing flexibility to support a wide range of routes.
We also exercised options to purchase 44 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft for delivery between 2024 and 2026 - consistent with the United Next 2026 capacity plan - and ordered 56 more MAX aircraft for delivery between 2027 and 2028.
We now expect to take delivery of about 700 new narrow- and widebody aircraft by the end of 2032, including an average of more than two every week in 2023 and more than three every week in 2024

As usual, it looks like the press is having a hard time getting the facts straight.

United said it planned to drop 100 Boeing 767 and 777 wide-body planes from its fleet by 2030,

I read that the 767s are getting parked by 2030. Which article mentioned parking approximately 40 777s?

Some things are hard to report, or influenced by politics. You would think an aircraft order would not be one of those things.

I didn’t feel like taking your money.

Excellent, thanks.

Even though these are replacements, it’s still good news for us. It replaces the 767-300’s with higher paying 787’s.
