My direct LAX BOG has changed to LAX-SAL-BOG. This is travelling on 4th Dec, and booked as a UA reward ticket.

Rebooking
Since you are using United miles, curious as to whether United rebooked you or was it Avianca?

I guessing it was AV.
But l have just read in el tiempo. That the pilots have ended their strike. |
It's in the news - the strike appears to be over.

News article today:
Pilots of Colombia’s largest airline, Avianca, vowed to lift a 50-day strike before Monday after mediation by the country’s ombudsman. The decision was announced by the Ombudsman’s Office after hours of negotiations between the striking workers and Ombudsman Carlos Negret.

The strike forced the suspension of hundreds of flights, affecting hundreds of thousands of passengers. The company refused to negotiate with pilot union ACDAC after an initial round of talks and has turned down mediation efforts by the ombudsman’s office. Instead, Avianca sought to break the strike by employing foreign pilots and fire striking pilots. These initiatives, however, were declared illegal by the court. Without having solved the labor dispute, ACDAC agreed to lift the strike of more than 700 pilots ahead of a Supreme Court ruling about the legality of the strike. |
Seems like the strike is over? When do flights resume?
For example, I still see that BOG-LAX is not operating. Any idea when that will start again?
