Agree that it is disappointing to lose Q Suites in HKG route, but using exCathay aircraft is probably due to high demand on premium class (Business + First)
For example in May, there were more than 25 days when more than 43 passengers travelled QR818/817 in premium cabin.
There were a few days QR818/817 had 100% loading on premium cabin.
If QR use 777-300ER with 42J, there is a chance that business cabin will full, but around 70-80% loading in economy.
