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

I don't know the details of that particular deal, but surely it didn't include a requirement that UA would have to operate flights to PSC forever?

Yeah that isn't going to happen. Per the airport, the grant money ran out within the first 3 months of operation. https://www.tricitiesbusinessnews.co...12/lax-flight/

Appears more the LAX route did not preform but UA saw better opportunities using different UA hubs. LAX was replaced by second SFO & ORD

I'm sure it didn't, but they cut the route after only a year.

Expect much deeper schedule cuts in the coming weeks with the specter looming of record-high oil prices and war potentially dampening EU advance bookings for summer 2022 as we enter vacation planning season...

we’re booked spring break (first week of April) SFO-LHR. Despite it being just a week into introducing the second flight, and me being worried that they might somehow cancel one, seat maps show a healthy load on both flights, though award availability on the later flight, which I would have preferred, is now available in X, which it wasn’t before, Booked the Twosday sale so don’t particularly want to make the change to 16K extra miles x 4, so hoping to SDC. I do wonder if more people will start to cancel closer to flight time - my wife was worried about potential spill over effects from Eastern Europe, but we’ve decided to go if it remains relatively status quo. Unfortunately, since COVID, seems it’s just one thing after another in world events, so we’ll see what happens in the end.

And now Allegiant flies in there too.

UA just eliminated the early morning EWR-CLE flight which creates a 5 1/2 hour layover coming off my overnight flight (early May). At some point, schedule stability matters to passengers but it increasingly feels like UA isn't valuing this.
