I believe March 2015. From what I've heard it takes ~6 months to get a program set up for a new aircraft. If that's true they're going to dick with us all the way til September.
And we should keep saying no! As much time the keep dicking with us, more people will jump the ship, then at the end they won't even have the staffing to fly those airplanes.
I heard that MESA, RAH and PSA says no to AAG request for them to fly the 175s. Also heard today that apparently AAG went to Silver Airways and they also turned them down since they can't recruit enough people.
