Maybe [MENTION=213904]percysmith[/MENTION] can help answer those questions since he provided the update in your thread that you were rebooked.
edited to add: saw that percy posted that cx opened up availability for you so whats this non-protection you speak of? Seemed like they resolved your situation to your satisfaction.
I was in the same situation in the following year, on an identical itinerary, burning Asia Miles on CX, and achieved a similar outcome.

He's burning AM on CX
Analagous to burning AA miles on AA in #286
You're burning partner miles on CX.
Generally when we burn AM on partners, we get a resolute no.
We'll both be miffed if the inverse isn't true.
Also he only wants a short haul, even tho on a peak day. You want a long haul.

That seems like the response we are expecting.
Can the liaison do any better?
P.S. Also, is the booking locked into your itinerary?

Best if you can hold onto the +1 PTO day itin
And wait for CX to release the original days (although in my track record, both the QR rebook and the AA rebook (>24 hours) involved changing leave/hotels).
