Simple equation: any CX aircraft type ending in A or B
always has new style AVOD in Y class no matter what. Any aircraft type
not ending in A or B
never has AVOD of any type in Y class and channels are on fixed cycle.
However, this doesn't mean that if the schedule shows an 74A/77A/34B/33B that you will get this aircraft for sure. While on longer hauls it is pretty accurate on short haul or regional last minute aircraft swap is very common.
