All is fine and well with 65 min, EXCEPT KA805 has a 25% on time performance. Loads are looking full already ex-PVG (post-cny travel?).

Being an AA regular, missed connections are a nightmare so maybe I shouldnt worry but what are my option to make it to NY without possibly getting stuck in the back of the bus on a middle seat on the HKG-YVR-JFK flight? Anything I can do proactively?

Fare class is B PVG-HKG and upgraded to U on HKG-EWR. Also OWS.
Flights to and from Shanghai are regularly delayed all the time thanks to terrible air traffic control, so if you really want to catch the EWR flight the best thing you can do is take an earlier PVG/HKG flight.
