Airbus is certainly a possibility going forward. There were unfilled vacancies in IAH and JFK on the last LUAL equipment bid prior to SLI and I strongly suspect the same will occur with the current open bid. Reports indicate that the Airbus fleet is increasing staffing for an anticipated increase in training going forward.
The Airbus bases are currently IAD (includes DCA), JFK (inc. LGA), ORD, DEN, SFO (inc. SJC), IAH, and LAX.

My opinion only and not official info:
Most of the new hires will be 73 iah and ewr.
Maybe a few a320 in the near future as there were some unfilled vacancies for this plane in jfk,ord,iah and iad
I think New hires going the the 756 will be few and far between for a while at
least.

Be prepared to go to and stay on the 73 for two years minimum. All of UALs old 757's are being put out to pasture and replaced with -900ERs and eventually Max's. Even with the 787 fleet growth, the majority of the positions will be 73 for the long term. The good news is the 73 will be at every base so it will give you some good choices on where to live.

When I was offered the job last month I specifically asked them about bases and type. I was told most new hires till feb/mar should be 73 ewr/Iah and come November a few 756 ewr. The 320 slots would be in spring unless guys from furlough are coming back to that aircraft. As we all know crew planning changes everyday so take what I was told with a grain of salt. I just hope for ewr...
FWIW, all new-hire training on the 737 with bases in EWR/IAH was the plan---and is one that UAL is still pursuing to a certain extent.
However, ALPA is also rightfully holding the company's feet to the fire and has reminded the company that new-hires must be placed in unfilled vacancies from equipment awards and not just where the company has convenient near-term training capacity. There should be another equipment bid opening very soon that will provide some insight into the future bases/fleets for new-hires. In fact, line pilots are being told to expect monthly equipment bids for the foreseeable future.
Stay tuned.

However, one can change bases as many times as desired on the same equipment (i.e. "a lateral"). (Example: EWR 737 FO to ORD 737 FO to SFO 737 FO.)
A pilot may move up to larger equipment at any time regardless of a freeze. (example: 737 FO to 757/767 FO). A pilot cannot go from the 737 to the A320 for two years because of the freeze. Here's the contract reference:
8-D-1-d An Equipment training freeze shall not restrict a Pilot in a lower–numbered Equipment/pay band from being awarded a vacancy in a higher-numbered Equipment/pay band, pursuant to the bands described below:
1) 321/320/319FO, 737FO
2) 767/757FO
3) 747FO, 777FO, 787FO, 350FO
4) 321/320/319CA, 737CA
5) 767/757CA
6) 747CA, 777CA, 787CA, 350CA
1) 321/320/319FO, 737FO
2) 767/757FO
3) 747FO, 777FO, 787FO, 350FO
4) 321/320/319CA, 737CA
5) 767/757CA
6) 747CA, 777CA, 787CA, 350CA
