Some of you may know I'll be taking my first trip on CX in a few weeks. I'm checking capacity on the flight now (CX 881) LAX-HKG and it's showing that it's just about sold out. I'm using a milage award in F that I booked 330 days prior to the travel date.
Now I am reading some of these horror story threads where people have been bumped off of some flights. Is there a chance of this happening to me? When I check in at MKE can AA give me my boarding pass for my CX segments or will I have to check in again with CX at LAX (7 hours later). Computer check in is not an option for us on CX. Should I make sure they have my AA status (PLT) on my CX segments instead of my green MP number? Will this make a difference? I'll only be spending 4 days in HKG and with only one CX flight a day, if I get bumped it'll really throw a kink in the plans. Not to mention I'm 6'3" and 250 lbs and God forbid they put me in a coach seat
Are any of these fears valid? Do they over sell F and will they bump the non-rev passengers first?

Thanks
