Given CX's laid-back attitude towards regional aircraft swaps regarding F class, I wonder if they'll do that with PEY on long-haul aircraft too. I have to imagine that will impact PEY yields and piss off pax.
Unlike before, when CX's long-haul fleet was fairly uniform, they now have a lot of longhaul aircraft configs under a same aircraft type. The 747 will now have two configs (1 previously), while their 777-300ER has 4 separate configs (back in the day it was just 1, 77A). Of those 6 747/777 longhaul configs, 3 will have PEY and 3 won't. When 77A is phased out, they'll still have 2 aircraft types (77D/74A) without PEY, and I have to imagine they will be subbed in when tech issues arise on 77G, 77H and 74K.
