The most recent JFK flight I had was last month (I only take 830 to JFK) and service was excellent; served by HK based.
No, I am 100pct certain the FPs on my 3 most recent 845/830 segments in F (CX845 1x, CX830 2x) were JFK based FPs. This was between April and now, so roughly last 10 months. I'm not sure if my few anecdotes mean anything, but they were indeed based out of JFK and serving F. Not sure about the SP though. But FP in each case, 100pct.

They are, however quite young like you mention. That's the same with SFO - also some young FPs, SPs and ISMs.
