If CX keeps 2/3 of that for other purposes and reinvests 1/3 ($3300) on incremental costs per flight, spread across 400 pax that's another $8 USD they can spend/pax in-flight.
I don't think it will help. The transportation industry is famous for giving away all its cost savings to customers when competition heats up, and that's what wil lhappen as all airlines have to fill their seats.
