December SMSR schedule from NASA
Contract mods show Authority to Proceed for the Crew-4 mission, which should be early or mid 2022 depending on what Boeing does next year.
“I believe it’s now too late to develop a suit and do the training for Crew-3,” Jurczyk said, referring to a SpaceX Crew Dragon mission scheduled for launch Oct. 23. “So most likely the earliest mission to have a cosmonaut on it would be Crew-4.”The Crew-4 mission is currently scheduled for launch no earlier than the first quarter of 2022.
“The plan right now is to alternate — SpaceX, Boeing, SpaceX, Boeing — however, the first Boeing crew flight is delayed, and we’re going to most likely … have four crew flights with SpaceX before the crew test flight with Boeing,” Jurczyk said Tuesday. “So we may have to relook at that, but we haven’t gotten around to talking about that yet.”

It could just be the SMSR is using outdated nomenclature. The source document referenced is a year old. Things change all the time.I believe it will be probably be called Starliner-1, but I don’t know for sure. So I’m just going with what the document says in the absence of anything else that’s recent.
