The only sad thing is we can't check in at the 'white zone' anymore, although sometimes theres a bit of a wait as there's only one counter for F (shared by 884 and 870 when I fly 806) but again quite minor in the grand scheme of things.
What I mean is this doesn't stop me from flying CX lol. And OP shouldn't really have to worry about it - it's not as inconvenient as you envision!
I wish the "mo mo mo" worked for me lol
Last time a middle age man interviewed me, longer than my actual immigration interview after landed:
1)What's your purpose of the trip?
2)Show me your printed itin (I was like "????")
3)Did you pack your bag yourself? Any batteries in your bag? any knife and weapons? (showing a graph) Any liquid or weapons in your carry-on?
4)How long did you stay in HK? What did you do?
etc etc

More annoying than the Europe interviews I had IMO.
While the CPB officer was totally chill and "welcome back and have a good night".
But I 100% agree with the inconvenience is minimal and does not prevent me from flying CX.
