Curious where you get the idea that the US DOT can force Cathay to do anything on a HKG-BKK flight.
I assume OP is flying from the US to BKK?
From CX's CoC:
"If, after you purchase your Ticket, we make a significant change to the scheduled flight time, which is not acceptable to you, and we are unable to book you on an alternate flight which is acceptable to you, you will be entitled to a refund in accordance with Article 11.
From the DOT:
"If, for any reason, your flight is canceled, substantially delayed, or rescheduled, you have the right to reroute at no extra cost or to receive a full refund"
1) Cathay's contract of Carriage doesn't apply on an AA ticket.
2) No one is disputing OP can cancel the whole trip and get a refund. The OP doesn't want that.
3) Not sure what you're citing from the DOT (I only found that text on Airfare Watchdog, which as far as I know is not a regulatory body and does not carry the force of law), but that does not say that a foreign airline is required to open up award availability.
