Are you sure on this? This is copied from the company email on 12/27:
"
Positions in the new base are expected be awarded on February 15th with a March 2, 2013 effective date. Please ensure your standing bid is up to date."
That being said, I expect you may be right that we will know this month. The original flying was scheduled to start in March, but since then it has moved up to 1/30. So, they probably have moved that award up to this month since the CBA allows them to release a new base bid on the 15th of any month.
Finally, my further understanding is that these two airplanes will start flying in CVG and then move to the Asia flying at a later date (pending another change, of course).
The routes starting 1/30 are BRU-CVG-BRU and MIA-MCO-CVG-MIA.
