If only Cathay had warned me in advance I might have been able to take a flight the previous day!
Oh, sorry, I thought you said your confirmed seats were in A class. If you had gotten USD1000 out of CX for bouncing you down on an A-class rtw fare, that would have been something. I wouldn't be surprised if, given a typical mix of carriers on an rtw, CX's total earnings from their participation in a first-class rtw are less than $1000, especially if the passenger bought it in one of the cheaper countries.
