Not a flat bed yet trying to scam another 10,000 miles? I probably won't pay for that Dynasty Supreme Class. They are already miles away from the top notched airlines, yet they cannot even compare to EVA Airways. If the bed is not nearly flat, what's the use of having 60" when there's no leg support in the front?

Unlike New York JFK, rotating 74C on CI 0005/0006 is possible since it's daily, so... maybe they will utilize the aircraft on another night flight.

I don't think they'll be able to just return 10,000 miles, they'll have to return the UTJ award and use a UTC award .. quite a bit of hassle, no?
Well, it has already been reported that Dynasty Supreme is offered on CI 0061/0062, so it's probably not going to be taken away. With that in mind, if CI 0005/0006 gets this cabin in January, it's safe to assume that CI 0007/0008 will be the old cabin, and it will probably piss more passengers off cause some passengers may just shell out the extra 70 bucks to be on the night flight for the televisions, other than transiting.

Well, since returning 10,000 miles sounds impossible, they will probably just have that aircraft rotated for CI 0005/0006 at a priority than any other flight (since CI 0061/0062 isn't even offered at 40,000 miles).
