CX is randomly sending aircraft with no F to SFO/LAX - not a specific flight reliably, so you need to check your specific dates.
As for me - I made a mistake (based on JL availability for the date which disappeared before I could book it) I was able to cancel w/o penalty. They did offer to ask CX to open up Z on another flight but said it would be at least 3 days (and there were other complications as I was connecting to this flight and I thought the chances of CX obliging was low b/c of the mistake fare) and I made a bad decision based on my thought I could just book on JL (still a possibility as flight is not right away)
Do you have further info on the "random" aircraft change since I have other flights coming up sfo/lax?
