Wow, KLM had this as well:

I wish United reused old regos cuz now instead of using N###UA they use 5 numbers after N. American isn't much better, for their 737 MAX 8s they seem to be using three numbers after N and then two random letters (an example I flew on in December on ORD-MIA is rego'd N812UP). Delta is the only of the three kind of making an effort, using DA, DL, and DU after three numbers.

That was a Continental thing I believe. All their aircraft had the same reg style of Nxxxxx of all numbers. Mostly anyways, I think older aquired jets didn’t here and there.

This may also have to do with the fact that United is using Continental's operating certificate today. NXXXUA regs are all pre-merger aircraft.
