"Official announcement", we don't know. But there have already been numerous communications from management, flight ops, and the union regarding the progress of getting the program running. Expecting an initial staffing bid by the end of the year, or latest early next year. United wants the first Xjet 175 in service April 2019, most likely ORD flying.

It sorta seems like UAL is in no hurry to make the announcement. Since scope is maxed out, these planes will come at somebody else’s expense. The sooner they announce it, the sooner the other carrier has major attrition issues. Just look at what happened to ASA when they found out about the loss of the Delta contract.

That’s what’s been happening at Endeavor for at least 5-6 years. They just keep cycling between 700’s and E175’s. Hiring for an announcement that may never happen. And now we’re over staffed and there’s a lot of frustration expressed by people on reserve. It’s taking twice as long for people to get off reserve and they’re not flying much.
