Sounds like more than you.
I agree. However - if this is what Airbus is posing its customers, airlines, like CX, should seriously think about the reliability of its products. Personally, I have been trying to avoid flying any Airbuses as much as possible, especially overwater routes.
CX owns the planes. CX has absolute authority on which aircrafts on which routes.
As I repeatedly said - I merely pointed out the possibility, rather than saying that CX should use A333s for SEA-HKG.
You lost your credibility when you stated you tend to avoid Airbus aircraft for overwater flights and that Airbus is misleading its customers.
Besides the point however, the A330-300 simply cannot operate HKG-SEA or HKG-YVR with any shred of a payload, DL struggles on certain days with the A330-200 and has to block seats/hold cargo westbound. If an aircraft with more payload/distance capability is being pushed to its limits then you can be certain the A330-300 of which CXs don't have center tanks will not make it on any day minus a ludicrous tailwind both directions.
