Sorry TJ - doesnt answer your question though.
I asked UA personnel who would know while on my UA914 flight. Beyond saying that it would be TATL and that there is a plan they would not say. The tentative schedule is being closely held right now.
I actually think that's smart by UA. Once they published a schedule any deviation would be followed by howls of outrage by a portion of the customer base. As it is, so long as they avoid downgrading anyone when swapping in the new plane(s), almost everyone who winds up in the new config will be very pleasantly surprised.
Makes sense to me.

On my 4/24 flight I asked the person from UA who would know about having more choices of classic movies and classical music on the AVOD. I was assured that this is coming in early summer as part of more choices in general.
Meanwhile on UA 914 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Young Frankenstein were available. Everyone has their own tastes. In my case since I think that <1% of movies made in the last 20 years are endurable I watched Butch, Sundance and Etta and enjoyed it all over again.
