Great news!

At least CX888 and CX889 should get NBC fairly soon. I recall that HOO, HOR, HUD and HUG are 74Js with 62 J seats on the Main Deck and 30 J seats in the Upper Deck. Would it be safe to say that the 74Js with New Business Class will not get the 74Y designation? I'm guessing the new configuration will have 8 less J seats.

BTW, is your handle somehow linked to the same establishment on Lockhart Road?
