UA publishes a schedule for 330 days in advance (called Beginning of Schedule) and in the past would make tweaks quarterly and things would be fairly settles 3-4 months out. Updates would occur Friday evening / Saturday morning (Chicago time). Routine additions could occur anytime.
Present updates are every Friday and sometimes mid-week usually focused on the next month and farther out. 20 Oct 2021

Examples (Major updates) The October 2020 schedule was updated 4-5 September 2020 The November 2020 schedule was updated 2-3 October 2020 The December 2020 schedule was updated 30-31 October 2020 Holidays can move the major date a week earlier or later. Weekly updates are still generally done over night Friday-Saturday (Chicago) UA does not publish a summary of most schedule changes but a variety of sources below do and summaries / links of those sources can be found in this thread & wiki. Always crosscheck with UA's Travel Notices , Coronavirus (COVID-19) travel waivers and information, www.united.com/coronavirus as the situation is dynamic Other Resources and Statistics

Wonder why they ditched the 764 here in the first place... Seems to start taking effect on 5/6

That would be an indirect effect, as I don't believe UA has ever used the 772 HD on that route, as the non-ER aircraft don't have the range.

UA was not able to bring the PW 772s back by mid May when they were expecting to do it. UA could have been planning to use a PW 772ER on this route which aren't back either. UA has 22 HD 772s (19 As and 3 ERs all PW engines) as well as 30 Polaris configured 772ERs with PW engines, so when up to 52 aircraft were expected to be used changes need to be made.

. I have three seats in first during the affected timespan - upgraded to D fare, at about $950 per upgrade. If it reverts back to 764, there's going to be trouble.

Network planning is quite complicated and has a lot of different factors (e.g. cargo demand between east coast and HNL may make a 772 the better option)
