To the contrary, I am not sure they can really "officially" announce anything until the merger is official. I would not expect any official announcements about changes at least until Judge Lane (the bankruptcy court judge) okays things, which presumably will happen in the hearing on the 11/25. However, it is probably more realistic that all/most official announcements will not be made until after the merger closes, which is expected in December.
As a (mainly) AA flier, the exact merge date and the US/*AA/UA codeshare divorce is of no import to me, but I do hope the PTB are working things out so that trips you all have booked cross-airline per-merger close still earn you miles. Unfortunately, it may be a couple of weeks still before we have clarity on that point.
